Actor Danny Trejo caught on camera in fight during 4th of July parade in Los Angeles

Actor Danny Trejo was caught on camera getting into a fight during a July 4 parade in Sunland-Tujunga after he was apparently hit by a water balloon thrown by someone watching the event.

The parade, which began at 10 a.m. Thursday, was heading west on Foothill Boulevard to Sunland Boulevard from Mt. Gleason Avenue when someone in the crowd threw a water balloon at one of the cars traveling in the procession.

The car, an old-school convertible, happened to be where Trejo, 80, best known for his tough-guy roles in films like “Machete” and “From Dusk Till Dawn,” was sitting.

This prompted the actor to jump out of the car and confront the person who threw the ball.

A fight ensued, with video showing both sides exchanging punches before Trejo was knocked to the ground.

Others rushed to break up the fight, but not before the person Trejo confronted punched another man in the face. A large crowd gathered in the middle of the street for several minutes before police finally arrived, a bystander said.

Trejo has yet to comment on the matter.

No arrests have been reported in the incident and Los Angeles Police Department officials say no reports have been filed.

In addition to his roles in several cult films, Trejo is well-loved in the Los Angeles community for his restaurant chains, including Trejo’s Tacos and Trejo’s Cantina. He speaks openly about his difficult childhood and often recounts his journey from drug addiction and a life of crime to where he is today.
