Video After The Jump
George Zimmerman was apparently in fear for his life over the weekend after being confronted by someone who heard him bragging about killing Trayvon Martin.
The New York Post reports that Zimmerman was at Gators Riverside restaurant in Sanford, Florida, having a conversation about Martin when a guy approached his table.
“You’re bragging about that?" the guy said, before punching him in the face knocking off his glasses.
Zimmerman called 911 to report the assault.
“He recognized me,” Zimmerman told dispatchers. “He told me he was going to kill me he told me he’d fucking shoot me and he punched me in the face. He said he’s going to kill me. You need to send like three or four cops."
Witnesses at the restaurant confirmed his story, but said he asked for it.
According to WFTV, the altercation began when Zimmerman was overheard telling someone, “I love your tattoos. My name is George Zimmerman, you know, that guy who killed Trayvon Martin?”
The man who punched him could face charges.
Trayvon Martin
Zimmerman was a neighborhood watchman when he shot and killed 17-year old Martin, who was unarmed, on February 26, 2012, in Sanford.
The teenager was walking to his father's house after leaving a convenience store. Zimmerman confronted him, claiming he looked suspicious.
An altercation ensued resulting in Martin's death.
On July 13, 2013, Zimmerman was acquitted of second degree murder and manslaughter.
