N.J. Mall Easter Bunny Charged With Aggravated Assault After Brawl

Videos shows N.J mall Easter bunny getting into a brawl with customers. Man in suit was charged with aggravated assault and "fare hopping."

He's not exactly Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail.

No, this N.J. mall Easter Bunny has a temper.

Videos posted on Twitter this weekend show an Easter bunny getting into a brawl with customers who were waiting online to have photos taken at the Newport Mall in Jersey City.

And...no lie...the bunny was charged with aggravated assault and "fare hopping."

The bunny is seen exchanging punches with a man in a brown shirt, and others, then having to be separated from the crowd as his ears flopped up and down.

The bunny then is seeing going back to the crowd for more brawling as children could be seeing fleeing into a play area.

The man in the costume, Kassim Charles, and the father, 44-year-old Juan Jimenez-Guerro, were charged with aggravated assault and disorderly conduct charges. Charles was also arrested on an open warrant for "fare hopping," Jersey City police told NBC 4 New York.
