Philip Ray Lester, 61, was identified by police as the assailant and arrested after the street brawl on Tuesday in a quiet residential section of Fresno, California.

Police say that Lester sparked the brawl by going up to an area where another homeless man was encamped and trying to tear down his tent.

The other man confronted him with a metal rod from a bed frame and Lester faced him down with a baseball bat, police say.

Video shot by horrified residents shows the two men squaring off in the middle of the street, near the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Sixth Street.

Guy drew down on Lester with a metal rod. Sounds like Lester was just defending himself.

Never bring a metal rod to a baseball bat fight.

“a metal rod from a bed frame and Lester faced him down with a baseball bat,”

looks like a fair fight to me.

we live in an area with a mid size city and plenty of open space with some nice suburbs..we have crime just like any other place but most people live in a peaceful prosperous way....

but these ship heads and the media coverage of them makes our country out to be one big slum....

why are these animals prowling good neighborhoods and why are they allowed to.....

I don’t believe it, fake news. California is a socialist utopia.

I think he may be more related to the Klingons.

I’m guessing that eraser head of his, is occupied by a lot of oatmeal, and a tiny bit brain of insufficient quality. (I know I’m stooping low, to make an ad hominem attack, but nobody’s perfect.)

To be completely fair, I’m guessing the regular police photographer was on break, and the one from the DMV was filling in. I think she took my last DL photo.
