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.

Cops don’t seem inclined to lock them up for vagrancy... is that even a thing? I live about 4 hours from Portland, OR. A local homeless services outfit must have gotten grant money or funds from somewhere else, so Portland busses some of their homeless here
