(KTLA) – A brawl involving three people on a busy Los Angeles freeway was captured on video earlier this week and shared with Nexstar’s KTLA.

The incident occurred around 2 p.m. Tuesday on the 10 Freeway near Normandie Avenue in the Adams-Normandie neighborhood, according to Thiago Oliveira, who recorded the apparent road rage incident.

“I was stuck in traffic and came upon a father and son fighting a middle-aged man,” Oliveira told KTLA.

Oliveira said both parties decided to get back in their vehicles and drive away when he stopped recording to try and de-escalate the situation, telling those involved to “call the cops for this fender bender or leave because there are 100 cars behind us.”

Oliveira said the brawl started because the pickup truck belonging to the pair dented the man’s bumper.

Witnesses said the duo denied the crash was their fault.

“No one was hurt because they were terrible at fighting,” Oliveira said.

It was unclear if authorities were ever contacted about the incident or if any arrests were made.
