Police are on the look out for two suspects who attacked a store mascot.
It happened Saturday afternoon on the 700 block of South Gammon Road near Watts Road.
Steve Smith, owner of Sports Clips Barber Shop, was dressed in an eight-foot-tall inflatable mascot called "Sporty."
He was outside trying to drum up some business when he was struck from behind.
Smith fell over and rolled into the street as his two attackers continued to punch and kick him. Luckily he wasn't injured.
The attackers ran off afterwards and Smith wasn't able to get a good look them because the "Sporty" costume blocked his view.
They appeared to be about 25 years old. Smith says it was the padding in the costume that kept him safe.

BD, you chose to attack a person that was not threatening to do you great bodily harm. And that person was obviously in no position to defend themselves. You and your thug friend preyed on someone who could not escape your attack, and you want us to believe that's not vicious? An unprovoked attack on someone who can not fight or flee is never a joke. Your parents failed.
Hey BD,Thanks for fessing up, I guess . You weren't the only two idiots in the world doing this for video. The act is called "wilding" and is the latest rage on Youtube. Happened in Minnie last weekend also. Those idiots, 8 guys, actually posted cast and crew names. Sheesh...get a life will ya!!!
Just Come Up Behind A Guy And Attack Him. I hope there caught. Learn There Lesson
