Who would’ve known little Gary Coleman was such a tough guy!

The little actor got into big trouble after hitting a fan with his truck just outside a bowling alley in Utah.

Gary Goleman’s bodyguard told reporters that near closing time, a man named Colt Rushton, 24, asked if he could take a photo of Coleman, 40 and his wife, Shannon Price-Coleman.

According to the bodyguard/friend, Gary Coleman declined and that’s when Colt Rushton started harassing the couple.

Rushton, the fan, was said to have followed the couple out to the parking lot where, according to the bodyguard, Rushton was hit by the actor’s pickup when he ran around it as Coleman was backing out.

Coleman also struck another vehicle. So did Coleman hit the man with his car on purpose? Or was it a complete accident?

As we all know, there are two sides to every story, and this one is no different. Colt Rushton said he was attempting to get his cell phone back from Coleman’s wife, Shannon who had grabbed it from him.

Rushton said that is when Gary Coleman put his truck in gear and hit him, knocking Colt to the ground. Colt also said that Coleman punched him several times before getting behind the wheel of his truck.

Colt Rushton was treated and released from a local hospital, and police are investigating the incident. Sources state that alcohol might have played a part in the incident.

So all you fans out there, remember not to eff with Gary Coleman! He’s dangerous!
