Retention holster and situational awareness are critical if someone is deciding to open carry. Looks like this guy failed on two counts.

Please get a retention holster. When I open carry (legal in VA), I use a duty level retention holster. It can't be removed without taking me with it and by that time a knife will be in play.

Three actually:
There are no reported injuries.
Anyone attempting to unlawfully disarm/attack you should pay a heavy price!
