Terrell Owens knocked out a heckler outside of a CVS store in California after the man reportedly harassed a fan of his in the store, a new viral video shows.
A witness captured the fight, which went down Saturday night around 11:30 p.m. at the pharmacy in Inglewood, TMZ Sports reports.
The Hall of Fame wide receiver, 48, was approached by a San Francisco 49ers fan and the two struck up a conversation, with Owens having spent seven seasons playing in the Bay Area before being traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2004.
Moments later, a man began harassing the 49ers fan, while the former NFL great tried to keep the peace between them, according to the outlet.
But the aggressor soon began threatening to beat up Owens and the fan.
While outside the store on the sidewalk, the heckler could be seen throwing the first punch, which Owens easily blocks before knocking the aggressor to the ground.
No police were called to the scene, and the six-time Pro Bowler reportedly left the scene in his car without further incident.
Earlier this year, Owens was the target of another viral instance after a “Karen” was filmed harassing Owens, The Shade Room previously reported.
In a video posted to social media in August, Terrell Owens shared a recent encounter with a “Karen” in his neighborhood who falsely accused him of trying to attack her as he went to the mailbox.
Going live on Instagram, Terrell Owens shocked fans when he shared an experience he was dealing with in his neighborhood in real-time—which involved a “Karen” not minding her business and painting a false narrative involving a Black man.
According to Terrell, a verbal altercation ensued between himself and the unidentified white woman because she apparently didn’t approve of his driving as he went to his mailbox. The woman, who was on a bicycle, accused him of trying to hit her with his car, a claim he firmly denied ever happened.
She went even further with her accusations and told a police officer that Terrell Owens got out of his vehicle and approached her in an aggressive manner. To which he responded:
“You don’t yell at me and tell me I almost hit you and I didn’t.” The woman then replied, “But, you didn’t have to get out of your f**king car!” However, things got even worse when the woman actually screamed at Terrell and shouted, “You’re a Black man approaching a white woman!”
Owens previously played in the National Football League for 15 seasons. He was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018, in his third year of eligibility.
