 Deputies said that Zimmerman called 911 to report the incident at Gators Riverside Grille, telling dispatchers he was accused of bragging about shooting and killing Trayvon Martin. 
 
 According to the incident report, Zimmerman said he was recognized while eating at the restaurant and as he was explaining to people sitting at the table that he shot Martin in self-defense, a large man approached him and asked, "you're bragging about that?" 
 
 Deputies said the man left and came back minutes later, asking Zimmerman why he hadn't left. The fight escalated when the man then punched Zimmerman in the face, according to the report. 
 
 The man has not been arrested as of Thursday. Investigators say they are looking for a man named "Eddie," who witnesses say was the main aggressor. 
 
 Martin was shot and killed by Zimmerman in an altercation in a Sanford community in February 2012. Zimmerman was found not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter on July 13, 2013. 
 
 The shooting sparked protests and a national debate about race relations.

 Zimmerman said he was ordering food at Gators Riverside Grille Sunday evening when he walked by a table with several people and complimented a man’s Confederate flag tattoos, according to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office. 
 
 The man, Joseph Whitmer, thanked him and asked, “aren’t you that guy?” Zimmerman said yes and pulled out his ID to prove who he was, a report shows. 
 
 Whitmer asked about the Trayvon Martin case and as Zimmerman started to explain that he fatally shot the unarmed teen in self-defense, another man walked up and asked, “You’re bragging about that?” 
 
 Zimmerman told the man he wasn’t but the man said “you better get the [expletive] out of here,” a report shows. Zimmerman told deputies he went back to his table where several of his friends were eating.

 Several minutes later, the man, who was only identified as Eddie, walked over to his table and said, “Didn’t I tell you to get the [expletive] out of here...” a report states. 
 
 Zimmerman told the man he wasn’t looking for any trouble and that’s when the man punched him in the face, breaking his glasses, records show. Restaurant staffers broke up the scuffle. 
 
 Zimmerman then called 911. 
 
 “This man just punched me in the face,” he told a dispatcher. “...He said he was going to kill me. You need to send three or four cops.” 
 
 He said the man and about five of his friends were holding him back. The man then fled in a blue Harley-Davidson motorcycle. 
 
 A Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman said they are still attempting to locate the man, who could face a battery charge. 
 
 Zimmerman told the dispatcher he was injured and needed paramedics. 
 
 “I don’t know where I’m bleeding from. My face is bloody,” he said. 
 
 “He told me he was going to kill me,” Zimmerman told a dispatcher. “He told me he would [expletive] shoot me.” 
 
 Several Witnesses told deputies a slightly different version about what happened. Whitmer’s wife said Zimmerman approached them while they were eating and said “Hey, I like your racist tattoos,” records show. 
 
 He then told them about killing Trayvon “to brag,” a report states. 
 
 Another witness who was at Whitmer’s table said he also asked Zimmerman to leave their table. He said he had an issue after “Zimmerman came to his table and proceeded to brag about how he was the one who killed Trayvon Martin,” an incident report states. 
 
 Zimmerman, who was acquitted of murder in Trayvon’s death in 2013, told the Sentinel he thinks the incident started because of a miscommunication. 
 
 Zimmerman said he thinks the man who punched him was intoxicated. 
 
 He said he thinks the man thought he was Matthew Apperson, who was accused of shooting at Zimmerman during a road-rage confrontation in May 2015 in Lake Mary. 
 
 Zimmerman said the man told him to go away and accused him of “shooting George Zimmerman,” prompting the fight. 
 
 Gators Riverside owner Ed Winters told a different story. 
 
 He said the incident started when Zimmerman approached a shirtless patron who had just come in from the St. Johns River and told him he didn’t like one of his tattoos. After a few words, Zimmerman walked back to his table. 
 
 A friend of the first man to approach Zimmerman — who was at the restaurant with family celebrating a 12-year-old’s birthday — walked over to Zimmerman to confront him, Winters said. 
 
 The two argued, but no punches were thrown, Winters said. 
 
 The two shoved each other, but Winters said claims of anything further are “blown out of proportion.” 
 
 Winters said Zimmerman called 911, prompting a full-fledged response from the police and fire department. 
 
 Zimmerman had been to the restaurant at least once before the incident, but Winters said Gators Riverside asked him not to come back after the debacle. 
 
 “Everywhere this guy goes he causes controversy,” Winters said. “You’d think he’d keep a low profile.”
– There are differing accounts of what happened at a Sanford, Fla., restaurant Sunday evening, but three things are clear: George Zimmerman discussed shooting Trayvon Martin, he was punched in the face, and he is no longer welcome at Gators Riverside Grille. WKMG reports that Zimmerman called 911 and said that he had been explaining how he had killed Martin in self-defense when he was punched by a man who accused him of bragging about shooting the teenager. "We were standing right here eating," Zimmerman told a 911 operator. "This man punched me in the face. He said he's gonna kill me. You need to send three or four cops." Witnesses say Zimmerman approached a table, told a man called Joseph Whitmer that he liked his Confederate flag tattoos, and then pulled out his ID to prove who he was, the Orlando Sentinel reports. Whitmer's wife told police that Zimmerman said, "Hey, I like your racist tattoos," and another witness who was at the table says he asked Zimmerman to go away after he started boasting about the Martin killing. A friend of Zimmerman's told police a different story, saying they had been eating when five men approached them and started yelling at them. Restaurant owner Ed Winters says there was shoving but no punching after one man approached Zimmerman, who has been asked not to come back. "Everywhere this guy goes he causes controversy," Winters says. "You'd think he'd keep a low profile."
