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.

They live near resources that serve their needs. Around here, it means places where they can find bottles and cans...a dime each,,, and redeem them for cash. Neighborhoods also provide opportunities for theft, handouts, whatever. As to why it’s allowed....well, they’vegotta be somewhere. They have no money, so can’t be fined. 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

...Never bring a metal rod to a baseball bat fight...

If the guy with the rod had used it like a staff the result may have been very different...
