Video: Adults Egg On Kiddie Fight
()
Police are looking for adults who egged on a couple of kids who were at each other's throats—and caught the whole thing on video. The kids punch, kick and even choke each other as the crowd around them, including two adults, eggs them on. It eventually took a child to step in and break up the fight.
It's not clear where or when the fight took place. The video has been turned over to San Bernardino County Sheriff's department, who is looking for the adults who provoked the fight, according to NBC Los Angeles. The video titled "My nephew messed him up for picking on his home boy" was posted on the Facebook page of a man named Austin Gamboa.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
