I'm sure there's more to the story.  I highly doubt Donald just picked a random dude and decided to punch him in the eye.  It could have happened, but it's unlikely.

There was probably some sort of disagreement between the two men.  If that was the case, who in their right mind isn't walking away from a potential physical altercation with Donald?
