NORTH HUNTINGDON, Pa. -- For four years, Tammy Scattell has been hiring teenagers to fill a Quizno's cup costume and advertise her North Huntingdon Quizno's store.

Now, she can't get anyone to do it.

"They're like, 'Let's just give it some time.' They are afraid to go out now. It's kind of scary," Scattell said. The cup suit is a great marketing tool.

But police said a teen inside the suit took punches and kicks from a man who pulled over to attack him along Route 30 while his buddies took pictures of it on their camera phones.

A North Huntingdon police officer's wife saw it happening and called police.

"A young man had jumped out of the vehicle, knocked a boy over in a Quizno's suit and started kicking him. They got back in the vehicle and took off, and we were able to stop them a short time later," said Patrolman Tom Harris, of the North Huntingdon police. The Quizno's mascot is OK.

These men face summary disorderly conduct citations:

• Nicholas Trumpe, of Elizabeth
• Justin Walker and Tony Anthony, of Greensburg
• Jeremiah Bozich, of Irwin
• Brian Goossen, of Jeannette

Each of the men is in his 20s.

"It's very disappointing, disgusting that something like this would happen," said Scattell.
