According to Click Orlando 

An elderly man who asked another patron to back away from him because he wasn’t wearing a mask at a gas station was beaten, kicked in the head and spit on, according to the Winter Park Police Department.

Police said the 70-year-old victim was at a Citgo on Orange Avenue around 7:40 p.m. on Tuesday when he noticed Rovester Ingram was not wearing a mask, so he asked Ingram to social distance.

The two argued then the victim left the convenience store with the items he purchased only to be followed by Ingram, who punched him in the face, records show.

Authorities said the victim tried to go back inside the store to escape the attack but Ingram followed him again, this time punching him, kicking him and shoving him to the ground before grabbing him by his hair and pulling him back to the parking lot.
