Georgia man Eric Rolland sucker punched 77-year-old veteran Jacob Cooter at a gas station in Grovetown.

Cooter, a Vietnam veteran 35 years Rolland's elder, was purchasing a case of water at the time of the incident when an argument ensued between the two over who was next in line. Cooter said he simply wanted to set the heavy case on the counter.

Rolland claims that Cooter made a fist and a racial slur towards him prior to the slap. Surveillance cameras recorded video of the single cheap shot to the back of Cooter's head.

"For the man to sucker punch me, he's kind of a coward," Cooter said.

Rolland, a truck driver, left the convenience store in his 18-wheeler after the attack but turned himself in Tuesday night after seeing the video of himself on Georgia's News 12.

Doctors said Cooter was fine after the assault but the veteran says he's pressing charges. Police arrested Rolland for simple battery.
