Police arrested two Marysville men at Seattle’s Pridefest on Sunday after a brawl between groups with opposing views.
A witness caught the fight on video and posted it on YouTube.
One of the victims had a “Repent or Else” sign ripped from his hands after a group of festival-goers started yelling at him near 4th Ave. and Broad Street. Police say one of the suspects knocked the sign-holder to the ground and began punching him repeatedly.
A witness gave officers a video of the melee.
Bike patrol officers found the suspects nearby; two men ages 36 and 22. The 22-year-old was released and the 36-year-old was booked into the King County Jail. Officers have requested misdemeanor assault charges against both men.
