Man attacks Pokemon GO players with tire iron after a gym battle dispute

Have you ever gotten into a heated argument about Pokemon GO? How did you settle it? You probably removed yourself from the situation, or talked things out with the others involved. That's not the case with the men above, who were attacked by another Pokemon GO player.

It seems the assailant was agitated when someone took over the Pokemon GO gym he had grabbed for himself. The assailant was so enraged that he got out of his car and wandered over to two people who he suspected were playing, and berated them for a bit before attacking. He was brandishing a tire iron, but thankfully never actually hit anyone with it. That said, he did land a couple punches with his fist.

The assailant, who says he suffers from mental health issues, has been charged with assault and malicious mischief.
