Easter bunny hops in to stop street brawl

A video of a person brawling in an Easter bunny costume has gone viral after it was posted on Instagram.

The fight broke out on Easter Sunday (local time) when a mystery bunny spotted a female and male pushing each other on the streets of downtown Orlando in Florida.

Without hesitation the unknown bunny hopped in and attempted to break up the fight.

There is some speculation that aspiring rapper Antoine Edwards was behind the costume and it was a stunt for his next music video, however witnesses told local media that they believed it was a legitimate fight.

Edwards spoke to NBC telling the local media outlet that he was out bar hopping with friends when he spotted the incident. He said he decided to try to separate the pair but he didn’t comment on if the incident was set up.

The bunny seemed to get a little too invested in the fight and started to take shots at the male before local police stepped in to separate the scuffle.

While officers attempted to restrain the male, onlookers captured the bunny on their mobile phones who stood off to the side air-punching and ramping himself up, perhaps for round two.

It’s alleged the male and female bumped into each other and after the male spat at the female, they became physical with each other.

The Orlando Police Department have not arrested anyone involved in the incident and no injuries were reported.
