Danny Trejo is speaking out following the release of a video of the actor engaging in a fight during a Fourth of July parade just outside Los Angeles.
Danny Trejo is speaking out following a Fourth of July parade brawl he was involved in on Thursday. 'It’s sad that people can wake up in the morning and go down and ruin something for everybody else,' he told local Fox 11. 'I am a protector. I will protect all my friends, always, and that’s what I was doing,' he added. Video uploaded to Facebook showed the 80-year-old actor pushing and shoving through a crowd during a parade in Sunland-Tujunga, just outside L.A.
The 'Machete' star added, 'I hate bullies, and that’s what bullies do. very really cowards. I did this in the ‘50s and the ’60s, I’m still doing it, I’m 80 years old!' A representative for Trejo did not immediately return Fox News Digital’s request for comment. The actor’s friend, Mario Castillo, was in the low-rider behind Trejo’s, and feels they were racially targeted, according to Fox 11. 'We weren’t there to start no trouble.
In a video obtained by the outlet, both Trejo and Castillo are seen being knocked to the ground. 'He didn't seem hurt. I think he was more, I don't think he was physically hurt, I think he was upset,' witness Arnie Abramiam, who caught the incident on his cellphone camera, told Fox 11 previously. 'He was angry, and angry as a mask for pain. But at the same time, I think the blood was boiling.
