LOS ANGELES () — “Machete” star Danny Trejo was involved in a fight that broke out at the Sunland-Tujunga Independence Day Parade.
The incident began when someone reportedly threw a water balloon at the vintage convertible Trejo was in.
Video posted on social media shows the 80-year-old actor confront a man along the route, presumably the person he thought threw the water balloon.
Trejo appears to throw a punch at the man and the man swings back. The man’s punch didn’t connect but a scuffle ensues and Trejo falls down.
The man who swung at Trejo then punches another man in the face and knocks him to the ground.
A larger scuffle breaks out, but it was quickly stopped by bystanders as they de-escalated the situation.
At one point during the melee, Trejo grabs a foldable chair and then tossing it.
Eyewitness News has reached out to Trejo’s representatives for comment.
Trejo has made a career in Hollywood of playing tough guys and villains. He’s perhaps most identified with the character Machete from several Robert Rodriguez films.
In recent years, he’s also branched out to the food business.
