On-screen text

Wild brawl breaks out at SF beach James Hidalgo was one of the men involved in this altercation that happened around 12:30 p.m. at East Beach. And I teach martial arts right here locally. But this was no organized fight. Hidalgo says when he started to walk up to the beach with his dog Argus, he was met by the other man yelling at him. He came in and tried to punch me. So then I pinned him down to the ground until the cops got here. Responding officers from the United States Park Police arrived a few minutes later. Both men were handcuffed and questioned. Hidalgo was released from custody, while the other man involved in the fight was taken away by police. Imagine a nanny with their kid here. Like, what is she going to do? He knew that he could just probably intimidate 90% of the people. Today he just ran into the wrong person.
