Video: Man in Easter bunny costume hops into fight in Orlando
A viral video shows a person in an Easter bunny costume jumping into a street-fight between a man and a woman on an Orlando, Fla. street on Sunday. And getting the best of the guy.
The video shows a man and woman engaged in a fight when the person in the costume rushes in to land some blows on the man.
People in the background can be heard laughing and egging on the costumed fighter.
After a few seconds a police officer and another man arrive to break up the melee.
The person in the bunny costume walks away from the fight bobbing and jabbing like a boxer and chest-bumping another man.
WESH 2 News in Orlando reported that the person in the costume was Antoine Edwards, who said he was out bar hopping with friends when he saw a man and woman fighting. He said he jumped in and tried to pull the man off the woman.
Lindsey Edwards, who shared cellphone video of the fight to the station, said that just before man in the bunny costume jumped in he saw a man spit on a woman he was fighting with.
Orlando Police spokesperson Sgt. David Baker told the Orlando Sentinel that the officer on scene “broke up the incident and and dispersed the parties involved,” but authorities don’t know what sparked the incident. Baker added no one involved wanted to press charges.
