The 63-year-old victim, who wished to remain anonymous, and his wife purchased VIP tickets for ‘Insidious: The Red Door’ at the AMC Pompano Theater in Florida on July 10, which included advanced seat selection.

The victim said he “politely” asked a couple who had sat in his seats to move moments before the confrontation became physical.

According to NBC Miami, the man cut his losses and started to look for a seat elsewhere while the aggressor “just kept staring.”

“As I’m walking away, he said ‘go run to your wife little boy,” the victim told the outlet. “I turned around and I said ‘you know I’m not the one who’s being a little boy, you took my seats and you didn’t apologize or you didn’t say thank you and I let you keep them.’”

Witnesses told police the alleged attacker became hostile and aggressive {snip}
