A Fight Broke Out At A Mall Between This Easter Bunny And Shoppers
It was a hare-raising brawl.
The fur started to fly at a New Jersey mall's Easter Bunny photo booth as security guards hopped into action to break up a fight between a man dressed as the Easter Bunny and a disgruntled shopper.

Jersey City police were called to Newport Centre mall on Sunday just after 5 p.m. when a dispute between the mall's Easter Bunny and a man got a hare out of control, city spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill told BuzzFeed News in a statement.
The 22-year-old man, who was playing the role of the Easter Bunny, told police the father of a 1-year-old girl verbally and physically attacked him after she slipped from the chair following her photo.
A fight then erupted between the father and Easter Bunny. It remains unclear who initiated the incident.
Both men were taken to the Jersey City Medical Center with minor injuries.
The first of two videos shows a man half-dressed as the Easter Bunny throwing punches as several shoppers and security guards swarm him.
He walks away, then returns to punch a man several more times.
"Aw Easter Bunny throwin' hands," says someone in the video.
