A man wearing a dark shirt and jeans was seen restraining the middle-aged man, wearing a black shirt and shorts, while another delivered fierce punches to his face.
The man in shorts tried to retaliate but missed a punch, causing him to fall to the ground.
A woman can be seen recording the fight on her phone before intervening and pulling the attacked man away from the fight.
That’s the moment Oliveira decided to stop filming and start working.
I told myself, I won’t get any closer until I realize they don’t have any weapons. And I won’t get killed over this thing. But once I realized I was safe, I went.”
He told the three people: “Guys, listen, we can either call the police now, or we can go, because there are 50 cars behind us.”

“They should be arrested. How are father and son involved in fighting? This is why you have insurance,” one user wrote.
“If you hit someone from behind, you’re at fault…the California Highway Patrol will find out.” My concern is that they did this once, will they do it again? They added.
