Instead of choosing to hop down the bunny trail, a person dressed as the Easter Bunny tried to break up a fight Sunday night between two people on Orange Avenue and was quickly sucked into the fight, according to a Instagram video that quickly went viral, posted by user Workfth, a local musician.

A man was seen holding onto the leg of another person trying to break free as the bunny-costumed person came running to assist, the video showed, although the original has since been taken down on Instagram.

The version below is on YouTube.

The man on the ground took a swing at the bunny after the bunny peeled him away from the other person.

The bunny began throwing strong swings into the man’s sides until a law enforcement officer ended the fight.

The costumed person embraced one of the spectators and then walked from the situation.

Orlando Police spokesperson Sgt. David Baker said the officer on scene “broke up the incident and and dispersed the parties involved,” but authorities don’t know what sparked the incident. Baker added no one involved wanted to press charges.

The video was watched more than 3,000 times in about 8 hours and has received over 100 comments Monday morning.
