Video of "Machete" star Danny Trejo - He fights in the street at the US parade

The movie villain lets his fists play behind the camera: "From Dusk Till Dawn" star Danny Trejo (80) got into a brawl on the street during the American Independence Day Parade in California on July 4th.

The US news service "TMZ" and news station "ABC7" released video recordings of the actor, showing the aggressive dimensions and cause of the fight: During the Sunland-Tujunga Independence Day Parade in California, a passerby threw a water balloon at the Californian, who was sitting in a white convertible Oldtimer.

Angrily, Danny Trejo jumped out of the car and stomped on a group of people on the sidewalk. Suddenly, Trejo attacked the supposed perpetrator. He defended himself and a hand-to-hand combat ensued. According to the film recordings, the film villain was then knocked down, got up immediately and threw a chair into the crowd in a rage.

Someone threw another water balloon at Trejo. A group held him back to prevent further escalation. The police were called and arrived after about ten minutes, as the situation was just resolving itself. No one was arrested.

Criminal Past

Danny Trejo is best known for his role as Isador "Machete" Cortez in the film "Machete". The 1960s saw the actor, with Mexican roots, spend most of his time in reform schools and California prisons due to various robbery and drug offenses. "Instead of testifying against myself and achieving something, I would rather have robbed someone if I wanted something," he looked back. The 80-year-old spent the last time in San Quentin for five years, where he survived a knife attack. A stay that changed him. Here he learned boxing and won the prison championship several times. He was married four times and has three children.
