    HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (KTLA) — An investigation was underway on Thursday into a vicious brawl between two men on the 405 Freeway that was caught on video.
    The bloody confrontation took place just before 5 p.m. on Tuesday near the Beach Boulevard off-ramp in Huntington Beach, according to the California Highway Patrol.

    The incident involved Richard Brun, a celebrity body guard, and a truck driver, identified as 40-year-old Denny Saavedra.
    The fight stemmed from a road-rage incident roughly 10 miles away, police said.
    “A driver of a semi-truck tractor threw an unknown object at his vehicle,” said Officer Jay Payton, of the CHP.
    Brun told police that he got out of his car after the truck driver allegedly waved a lead pipe and threatened him.
    “The confrontation did begin as a verbal confrontation,” Payton said. “Unfortunately, it did escalate to a physical confrontation.”
    Saavedra allegedly hit Brun with that metal pipe, and Brun fought back, police said.
    Several minutes of the fight were captured by a witness on cell phone video, which was posted to YouTube.
    The two men exchanged punches, and at one point, the video shows Brun pinning down Saavedra.
    In the end, police arrested Saavedra and charged him with assault with a deadly weapon. He was being held on $25,000 bail.
    Brun suffered cuts and bruises, but was otherwise okay, authorities said.
    The video was turned over to the CHP, which was investigating the incident.

    ... But if he only allegedly hit him with pipe and on the video only had them fist fighting, why is he in jail?

    now that is what you call a dumb trucker. hope he loses his license sounds like he has extreme anger issues and shouldnt be behind the wheel of a semi.
    now if the body builder was just claiming the trucker threw something at his car for an insurance scam than than the trucker had some rights to be pissed and scared as a huge guy jumps out of said car id be scared to if he came out and up to my truck in an angry way

    They should have both been arrested... What the body builder did was worse.. He got out of his car after the driver waved a pipe in the air and confronted him.. Seems to me he was chasing said truck driver.. who also should be cited..

    Another fine example of ''discrimination''..

    If a jet liner carrying 100 people crashed and they found a wallet with a CDL,they would blame it on the TRUCK DRIVER...

    They both need to be put in jail. They both had road rage.

    And some body guard he was. I'd think twice before hiring that guy.
