knocking over
Causing to fall
Knocking over means causing something to fall by striking or bumping it: The cat knocked over the vase.
By extension, it's slang for robbing a place: They knocked over three gas stations in one night.
To knock someone over can also mean to astonish them: The news just knocked me over.
