JERSEY CITY -- Charges filed against the mall Easter Bunny and the man he brawled with in a now infamous incident captured on video have been downgraded, and the case has been remanded to Jersey City Municipal Court.

Kassim Charles, the 22-year-old Easter Bunny, and Juan Jimenez-Guerrero, 44, both of Jersey City, were charged with aggravated assault following the fight at Newport Centre mall in Jersey City on March 20.

But the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office said this week that the charges were downgraded to simple assault on July 20 and sent from Superior Court to Municipal Court. On Tuesday, an official at the Municipal Court said the paperwork for the case has not yet reach the court.

When the men made their first court appearance on the charges, their girlfriends blamed each other's boyfriend for starting the fight, the video of which quickly lit up social media.

Both men have been ordered to have no contact with each other. They had faced three to five years in prison if convicted, but potential penalties in municipal court are far lighter.

Before the fight, Charles was posing with Jimenez-Guerrero's 15-month-old daughter when he dropped the baby, the girl's mother told The Jersey Journal. Charles had told police the child slipped out of the chair after she had her photo taken with him, Jersey City spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill said.

At the beginning of the video, the bunny -- without his floppy ears -- is seen being separated from a man wearing a brown shirt.

But just seconds after they are taken away from one another, the bunny throws his gloves off and approaches the man once again.

The rabbit and the man then scuffle around the floor on the first level of the mall as mall security guards attempt to break them apart.

Cases are downgraded from Superior Court to Municipal Court when the Prosecutor's Office feels the allegations do not rise to the level of criminality and that the charges should be handled in Municipal Court as potential disorderly persons offenses.
