Furry gloves off: Easter bunny brawls with man at N.J. mall

The Easter Bunny has a decent right hook.

So shows surveillance footage from a New Jersey mall, where a man dressed as the mythic rabbit brawled with a father who's child slid off a chair during a photo op.

Police responded to the scuffle at Jersey City's Newport Mall Sunday, where a 22-year-old playing the mall's Easter Bunny said a 1-year-old girl had slipped while sitting for the picture, the New Jersey Star-Ledger reported.

The girl's father became upset, leading to verbal and physical violence. After an initial altercation, footage shows the 22-year-old returning to throw off his white-furred gloves and charge at man as a crowd watches.

Both the father and the man playing the bunny were reportedly taken to a medical center with minor injuries with charges yet to be filed.
