Breaking: Kevin de León was involved in a fight at a Lincoln Heights holiday event Friday evening. A spokesperson says the councilman was headbutted during the altercation.
"This evening a staff member, volunteer, and I were violently and physically assaulted by self-proclaimed activists at a community holiday event to the dismay of a multitude of families and children who were there to celebrate a Christmas tree lighting and to receive toys and food," the councilmember said in a statement.
A post on Twitter alleged to show de León assaulting a local organizer. However, de León and his camp disputed this claim. According to de León's spokesperson, the councilman was on stage at about 6:30 p.m. when a group of 5 to 6 people approached him. The group rushed de León as he tried to exit off the stage with a woman and her infant. At this point, one of the people in the group headbutted de León which caused an altercation between the two men. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed they responded to the location of the event after receiving a report of a"large group fight.
