JERSEY CITY, N.J. — The Easter bunny has been involved in a mall brawl.

A mall Easter bunny and a father got into a scuffle Sunday after the man’s child slipped from a chair while getting her photo taken, Jersey City police said Monday.

A video posted on Twitter on Sunday evening shows a chaotic scene at the Newport Centre in Jersey City, New Jersey, near an area set up to take photos with the Easter bunny.

City spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill says the father of the 1-year-old verbally and physically attacked the 22-year-old who was playing the role of Easter bunny after the girl slipped.

Morrill says both men were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

No charges have been filed as police continue investigating.

The video shows a man wearing the body suit of the bunny costume fighting and then being separated by security. A few seconds later, the man in the bunny costume appeared again, throws off his white bunny gloves and exchanges more punches.

The mall’s management said in an email to The Associated Press it would have a comment later Monday.

The use of Mexican and other Latin American flags during the protests are a form of symbolism many conservatives are calling anti-American — while others argue they are an expression of pride in one’s homeland that could not be more American.

Assembly 381 came from an animal cruelty case that is pending in court. Known as Reba’s Law in honor of an English bulldog that died after being taped into a plastic bin, the bill stiffens animal cruelty penalties and sets guidance for how a bystander can intervene if they see an animal locked in a car during extreme weather.
