Actor Danny Trejo involved in July 4th parade brawl
Legendary actor and Los Angeles native Danny Trejo was involved in a fight at an Independence Day Parade in L.A.’s Sunland-Tujunga neighborhood on Thursday.
Witnesses say Trejo was riding in a vintage convertible when a paradegoer hurled a water balloon at him.
Video shared on social media shows Trejo, 80, get out of the car, walk to the sidewalk and throw a punch at a man, who countered and knocked the actor to the ground.
Other people got involved in the ensuing scuffle, including a woman who tried to restrain Trejo.
Law enforcement told TMZ that the crowd had dispersed by the time officers arrived, and no arrests were made.
Trejo, a former gang member who often portrays gangsters and tough guys in movies including “Machete,” “From Dusk Till Dawn,” and “Once Upon a Time in Mexico,” spoke with TMZ, calling the incident “childish” and those who threw the water balloon at him “cowards.”
Trejo has parlayed his successful acting career into other fields. In recent years, he has opened a series of restaurants, donut shops and coffee shops and published a memoir in 2021.
