A large-scale brawl involving multiple individuals, including women in skimpy outfits, erupted early Sunday morning outside Tacos el Gordo in downtown San Diego. The chaotic altercation, captured on video, necessitated the intervention of several police officers. Footage of the incident shows the fight escalating rapidly in front of the popular taco shop.
Police officers, who appeared to be present before the fight fully intensified, responded by deploying pepper spray and tasing at least one participant. It remains unclear what initially triggered the dispute, as both men and women were observed engaging in physical altercations. One clip revealed the conflict beginning with verbal altercations between two groups.
As the fight progressed, a man was seen forcefully pushing a woman to the ground, shouting, "You don't fking touch my sister, b*h." Amidst the chaos, a woman fell after being tased. The scene drew a crowd, with onlookers comparing the event to professional wrestling.
Jason Guarnes, who uploaded footage of the brawl to Instagram, stated he was caught in the pepper spray crossfire while waiting for his order. His video has garnered significant attention online, amassing over 11 million views and numerous comments.
While it appears several individuals were taken into custody, this has not been officially confirmed. The San Diego Police Department has been contacted for comment. Downtown San Diego is currently experiencing its busiest season, with thousands of people frequenting the area on weekends, prompting increased police presence during summer months to manage larger crowds.
