No report was filed with the Los Angeles Police Department.
A naked woman armed with a medieval-looking bat got into a fight with another woman on the boardwalk at Venice Beach, California, as onlookers watched and recorded the bizarre altercation.
Video obtained by NBC Los Angeles shows the two women – one of them in the nude – swinging at each other with what appeared to be a spiked club and a bat. The shocking incident, which occurred in broad daylight on Monday, wasn't out of the ordinary for locals who say many in the community suffer from mental health issues.
Phil Bourque, who works at a nearby store, captured footage of the unusual fight.
“Like, they were fighting and then people were gathering around watching,” he said of the crowd. “I mean, entertaining, that’s all I can say.”
At some point during the fight, the clothed woman threw her weapon, giving her nude opponent the chance to scoop it up and swing both of them in the air before strutting down the boardwalk.
“It looks like she was kind of winning,” Joe Ayala said of the unclothed woman.
Ayala said he’d seen the naked woman before drinking nearby and riding a bicycle along the beach. According to Ayala, it isn’t unusual to see that woman in the nude.
“You have to remember that a lot of the people that are homeless out here, 85% of them have a mental issue or some kind of trauma that has pushed them to like where their limits get exceeded,” he said. "Somebody should have helped. Somebody should have stepped it, but a lot of people were probably freaked out by a naked woman fighting."
Although the daytime duel caught the attention of several spectators, no one called the police. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department said the crimes seen in the video are assault with a deadly weapon and indecent exposure. However, no report was filed with the department.
Ayala also said he wasn’t surprised that the event went unreported, saying these types of bizarre incidents are something commonly seen in the area.
Nice catwalk strut...
“Cocaine is a helluva drug...”
This was on Twitter/X.
They really need to reopen the mental asylums.
I just assumed it was Venice, FLORIDA!
It's about time white folks got in on the fun.
I have always been curious as to why they call this the boardwalk. It doesn’t have a single board.
I’ve seen youtubes of Venice Beach. Thousands of mentally ill homeless people. Living in tents and boxes next to million dollar beachfront properties.
All anyone can say is.....
Elections have consequences.
At least the nude woman wasn’t carrying a concealed weapon.
(Not that we know of)
People still talk about homelessness as an economic problem. It’s not. It’s mental health and their needs for housing and food and care would be taken care of by mental hospitals. Society would greatly benefit.
At least it wasn’t a 300 pounder running around naked..
In the 90s we had maybe 20 permanent homeless on Venice beach. We looked out for them and they kept an eye out for us. We used to know each other by name. My how times have changed .
Is it Nancy Pelosi?
Would Laz hit it?
“ wasn’t out of the ordinary for locals who say many in the community suffer from mental health issues.”
Libtards

Because when your on it, you are bored.
She looks Armenian.
