Police are searching for an overprotective father who assaulted a man for looking at his daughter.
The Upper Darby Police Department in suburban Philadelphia has released a picture of the man and his daughter who were in a Wawa convenience store Sunday when police said the man did not approve of how another male was looking at his child.
The suspect, dressed in a red polo shirt, punched the man in the face, police said. He then left the store.
The victim suffered serious injuries from the assault, police said.
Police did not release any additional information regarding the victim or suspect.
This guy's not an overprotective father ... That's just his excuse for thumping the guy.
"If somebody's looking at your daughter, why don't you confront him instead of punching him?" Upper Darby police Superintendent Michael Chitwood told Philly.com. "This guy's not an overprotective father ... That's just his excuse for thumping the guy."
Anyone with information can call 610-734-7693.

Did dad ever ogle anyone in his day? Did he deserve to be assaulted?

depends on How the ogling took place. Did the stranger walk up and just stare openly at her boobs? Did he get way too close while watching...there is too much missing from this story to make a judgement either way. I know there are circumstances where I'd be very protective of my child too.

so if your on the playground with your daughter and you see some perv and he looks like he's getting excited off of watching your kid, it wouldn't make Barry go postal? Not saying you'd knock his block off but, you might feel like it. For many...too many there is no pause between thinking an act and doing it.
I think we might be in the same school of thinking first before acting but, when it come to people and their children, it doesn't always happen.
