He's cute. He's cuddly. He's red all over. And he throws a mean right hook.
Introducing Florida's version of Elmo.
A man wearing the Sesame Street character's costume for a promotional event pummeled a guy in Orlando after he was attacked in a guitar shop over the weekend..
Jeramie Trespalacios is used to entertaining, but he had to become a prize fighter after he was punched in the back of the head by his attacker.
The unidentified attacker-turned-Elmo punching bag told police he felt threatened by the Elmo costume. Police believe the attack was unprovoked and the attacker might have mental issues.
That guy is also in the hospital after taking on the Little Red Bull or whatever Elmo really is.
"Elmo got the best of the guy," Winter Park police Lt. Wayne Farrell told the Orlando Sentinel. "He broke two of his fingers. Elmo was unhurt."

Trespalacios threw a few punches and then tossed the man into a glass display case, head first.
Well at least now we know who the bully on Sesame Street really is.
