Former NFL star, Terrell Owens showed that he can still pack a punch when he was involved in an altercation over the weekend.
The NFL Hall of Famer was involved in an incident on Saturday night outside a CVS in California. Video obtained by TMZ Sports showed Owens throwing punches outside the store. The man who instigated the situation was reportedly harassing people in the store. However, as Owens exited the building things became even more heated.
Owens, a former wide receiver, 48, punched and knocked out the agitator outside a Los Angeles CVS late Saturday night, according to TMZ Sports. Reportedly, the Police were not called to the scene.
Owens was minding his own business when a 49ers fan approached. The two struck up a conversation.
According to Pro Football Hall of Fame,
Owens made his mark playing next to Hall of Famer Jerry Rice for most of his eight seasons in San Francisco. He set a then-record for catches in a single game with 20 receptions against Chicago Bears on Dec. 17, 2000. He recorded a remarkable three-year span from 2000-02 during which he caught 290 passes for 4,163 yards and 42 TDs. He set his career-highs with 1,451 yards in 2000 and 100 catches in 2002.
Though Owens and the fan were minding their own business, moments later, a man reportedly started harassing the fan. Owens, the legendary wide receiver, was reportedly seen trying to make peace between the two.
However, the situation escalated when according to TMZ, witnesses said the agitator threatened to beat both Owens and the fan outside of the pharmacy.
As Owens exited the building outside on the sidewalk, the aggressor continued his assault as he threw the first punch. However, the video obtained by TMZ showed Owens easily handling the man after circling a few rounds and then promptly knocking the man to the ground. The six-time Pro Bowler then reportedly left the scene in his car.
