10:45 AM PT — The Berkeley Police Dept. tells TMZ … the two men seen fighting in the video were initially arrested on suspicion of fighting in public at about 5 PM Monday.
After further investigation, BPD says 25-year-old Oakland resident Jihad Dphrepaulezz allegedly stole a chain from around the neck of the man in the red shirt. Dphrepaulezz was arrested on suspicion of robbery and battery resulting in injury … the other man, who police did not identify, was released.
Things got wild at UC Berkeley Monday when a brawl erupted at a Turning Point USA event, with fists flying and blood flowing on camera.
Check out one clip making the rounds — a keffiyeh-clad protester went toe-to-toe with a man selling merchandise at a tour stop held by Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA last night. The guy hawking “Freedom” memorial tees ended up with blood gushing from his nose like a busted faucet.

It’s not clear who threw the first punch, but things escalated fast — cops rushed in to break it up, struggling to pull the two men apart … with one officer even using a bike as a makeshift barrier.
Both guys were eventually separated, cuffed, and led away by police.
As you can imagine, cops were bracing for chaos — decked out in shields and batons. KTVU Fox 2 San Francisco reports four people were arrested, including the 2 brawlers. Hundreds of people were at Monday night’s event, the final stop of TPUSA’s campus-wide tour this year … actor/comedian Rob Schneider was also in attendance, according to KTVU.
