Trejo, who was riding in his baby blue convertible, was seen wearing a long-sleeved white shirt and black pants when the water balloon hit his windshield. In response, he exited his vehicle and attempted to confront the individual suspected of throwing the balloon, a man wearing a tank top and backward hat. Trejo threw a punch but missed, and in the ensuing scuffle, he was pushed to the pavement. During the melee, two small children were quickly removed from the vicinity of Trejo’s car.
