That'll teach him

Always respect your elders. You never know when one of them might whale the bejabbers out of you.
Just after 6 a.m., the 50-year-old man pulled into the drive-through of Burger King, 1322 Erie Ave., where he saw a 70-year-old customer sitting outside the restaurant. The 50-year-old man yelled at the 70-year-old man, who later told officers he didn't know the younger man.

The driver went through the drive-through, got his food and pulled around into the parking area, where he got out of his car and again confronted the 70-year-old.

The driver told the older man: "I'll take you out. You're not fast enough, old man," and tried to grab him by the collar. The 70-year-old man, backed up to a wall, responded by throwing his cup of hot coffee at the other man.

The driver then punched the 70-year-old, a former amateur boxer who responded by delivering a series of blows to the man, driving him backward.
