Easter Bunny brawls with upset parent at New Jersey mall
http://bangordailynews.com/2016/03/21/news/nation/easter-bunny-brawls-with-upset-parent-at-new-jersey-mall/A man employed as the Easter Bunny at a New Jersey mall brawled with a father whose his child slipped to the floor while having a picture taken with the costumed character, authorities said Monday, stunning shoppers watching the mayhem unfold.
Jersey City police were investigating possible charges against the 22-year-old man playing the Easter Bunny at Newport Centre Mall and the father of the 1-year-old girl, city spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill said.
After the child slid out of the photo-op chair Sunday afternoon, the father began to verbally and physically attack the bunny, the costumed cottontail told police.
“A fight ensued between both the father and the Easter Bunny,” Morrill said in an email, and both were taken to the Jersey City Medical Center-Barnabas Health with minor injuries.
