During a 4th of July parade in Los Angeles, Danny Trejo, known for his role in "Machete," was involved in a tumultuous brawl captured on video and uploaded to Facebook. The 80-year-old actor was seen pushing through a crowd in Sunland-Tujunga, just outside L.A. Trejo and his friend, riding in a vintage car as part of the parade, confronted a group of people after being hit with water bottles and balloons. The altercation escalated quickly, leading to punches being thrown, bloodshed, and both Trejo and his friend being knocked to the ground. Despite the chaos, Trejo appeared more upset than physically hurt, according to witnesses. The incident highlighted the challenges Trejo overcame in his 56-year sobriety journey, chronicled in his memoir released earlier that year. The community expressed remorse and gratitude for Trejo's presence at the parade.
