JesurĂșn Jr.'s arrest is not shown in the videos.
The two men were arrested after allegedly confronting a security guard that had been instructed to hold back the crowd from entering the section of the tunnel where media was gathering.
Arrest reports state that JesurĂșn Sr. pushed the guard, and then JesurĂșn Jr. grabbed him around his neck and pulled him to the ground, punching him twice.
âMr. JesurĂșn Jr. (defendant) then aggressively reapproached [the victim], who was still laying on his back on the ground, and Mr. JesurĂșn Jr. directed a direct kick to [the victimâs] head, which made a solid impact,â arrest reports detail.
The fight continued, police said, when another security guard attempted to assist and JesurĂșn Jr. allegedly raised a closed fist at her and started to grab, push and pull her.
Then, a security supervisor approached, and JesurĂșn Jr. allegedly punched him. Meanwhile, the suspect's father was trying to become involved while friends held him back, arrest reports state.
Both men face charges of battery on a specified official/employee, and JesurĂșn Jr. faces an additional charge of misdemeanor battery. They have a hearing set for Aug. 14.
