Prime parking spots<\/a> in New York City are evidently worth fighting a stranger on a sidewalk for. A brawl caught on video in the East Village last Tuesday afternoon shows a driver and a skateboarder doing just that.<\/p>\n

The NY Post reports that the skateboarder and a friend were attempting to hold a parking spot for someone when <\/a>a Mercedes pulled up<\/a> and tried to park in the “reserved by skateboarder” spot.<\/p>\n

The viral video<\/a> of the incident shows the Mercedes being hit with a skateboard a couple of times before the skater throws his preferred method of transportation at the vehicle.<\/p>\n

The driver jumps out, grabs the board and swings it at the skater. That was a mistake. The two men then exchange the types of pillow-soft punches you throw in your worst nightmare.<\/p>\n

These two weren’t cut out for hand-to-hand combat. Some kicks are thrown in there before the two fall hard to the pavement. The two ignore the pleas of the woman who was with the Mercedes driver and things get worse for him.<\/p>\n

The skateboarder gets on top, appears to land at least one weak punch, then lets the driver up. The skater then grabs his board and smashes his opponent in the head with it.<\/p>\n

The solid shot to the head, the hardest delivered by either of them, is followed by the skateboarder getting the Mercedes driver in a choke hold<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The witness filming the action decides to walk over to the Mercedes and reveals that the SUV has a smashed windshield<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the NYPD<\/a> confirmed to The Post that the driver of the Mercedes was trying to park his vehicle in a parking spot prior to the insanity captured on camera.<\/p>\n

The skateboarder, who as of Saturday afternoon the police were still looking for, left the scene. The driver was taken to a local hospital in stable condition, according to police.<\/p>\n

There were no arrests made. Sometimes you do battle on the sidewalk over a parking spot. Sometimes you’re arrested. Sometimes you’re not.<\/p>\n
