Hours after drawing protesters ire with his first in-person appearance in two months at a Los Angeles City Council meeting, Kevin de León was involved in a fight with an activist Friday night that was at least partially caught on video.
The council member said in a statement that he was assaulted. Activists said De León was the aggressor.
De León was at Lincoln Park for a toy giveaway and holiday tree lighting when the incident occurred, his office told The Times.
A video posted to Twitter by two local activist organizations RootsAction and J-TOWN Action and Solidarity shows a brief portion of an altercation between De León and a man identified in the description as Jason Reedy, an organizer with the Peoples City Council.
