Afterward, Sibrel told the St. Petersburg Times that he was very surprised to be hit. It was foolish for Aldrin to do that in front of two cameras. He also said that he hadn’t seen it coming, and Buzz had a good punch. The Beverly Hills police chose to treat the punch as self-defense, so there were no criminal charges.
