Florida mugger beaten after attempting to rob 68-year-old former world champion kickboxer

On December 27th, Steve Shepherd, 68, was leaving Anita’s Mexican Grill in West Palm Beach, Fl. He was heading to his car with a slight limp; he’d strained himself while running. When he reached his car he felt an impact over the back of his head. It was a bottle.

“Give me your f—king phone,” said the man who had allegedly struck Shepherd (per 25 WPBF News). The assailant had not only hit Shepherd with a bottle on the back of his head, but had also punched him in the eye.

Even though the alleged attacker got the drop on Shepherd, attacking this particular senior would prove to be an epic mistake.
