Nothing says religious holiday like a fuzzy bunny throwing haymakers.

A man dressed as the Easter Bunny brawled with several people at a New Jersey mall on Sunday, though most of his rage seemed to be directed at a man in a brown shirt.

In video shot by an onlooker from a floor above the fight, a small crowd including a security guard restrains both men before the guy dressed up as the Eastern bunny storms back, cocks his fist, and starts brawling again. 


The man in the brown shirt breaks away from his restrainers and winds up on top of the easter bunny before more security shows up.

Jersey City Press Secretary Jennifer Morrill said the fight may have broken out after the man's one-year-old daughter slipped off the lap of the man dressed as the Easter bunny. 

The father allegedly started shouting and attacking the man, and the video shows the rest.

No charges have yet been filed, though, as police are still trying to figure out the order of events.
