This really happened.
Four men were filmed fighting on top of Washington DC Fire and EMS Department Engine 33 as it waited at the intersection of Alabama Avenue and East 7th Street on August 27, 2015.
One man was running from the others and climbed on the truck for safety. That’s when the others followed him on top of the truck and started beating him.
Two of the men were later arrested for simple assault. The cause of the fight remains unknown. Officials said that there was some minor damage to the truck but that it is back in service.
