Excerpts from article:
...The Philadelphia Flyers' mascot Gritty is being investigated for an alleged assault involving a 13-year-old boy, police said.
...According to the boy's father, Chris Greenwell, the Flyers invited him and his son to meet Gritty as a way to thank them for being season ticket holders, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
...In an email to officials at Comcast Spectacor, which owns the Flyers, Greenwell called Gritty's actions "unprofessional and unacceptable," according to the Inquirer.
..."I know it was not correct for my son to harmlessly tap him on his head but for a Flyers employee to get (sic) throw a full punch at someone with his back turned and hurt a 13 year old boy is assault, unprofessional and unacceptable for your organization," the email stated.
...Greenwell said he took his son to a chiropractor after the incident and was told that the teen had a back bruise and suffered mild pain, according to the Inquirer.
