Think Elmo's a pushover? Think again. 'Morning Express' host Robin Meade chronicles the bizarre story of a man in an Elmo costume that dealt out a muppet style beat-down, sending his attacker to the hospital. "Police in Winter Park, Florida say that a man assaulted customers in a store where Elmo was browsing. Okay wait, so Elmo defended himself and the attacker ended up with two broken fingers from Elmo!"

With the help of a Morning Express correspondent, Jeramie Trespalacios demonstrates exactly how the attacker pushed him over the edge. "Let's say you're the guy over here and you start smacking my thing or whatever... Then I wave to him 'no' like this. So I turn around and then he delivers a punch, straight punch to the back of the head." Meteorologist Bob Van Dillen jokes, "If it was the Count, he would have killed him."
