Ron Artest Breaks Up Fight Outside Night Club

Lakers player Ron Artest stepped up like a true man outside of an El Lay club this past weekend when he witnessed a man and a WOMAN fighting!

Bravo, sir!

While on his way down the street toward his car, a man and a woman began to throw PUNCHES right next to him. First of all, there is so much wrong with that sentence, but at least the NBA superstar stepped in and separated the pair.

After cooling down the situation, Artest got into his car, while the abusive male walked away, hopefully to the nearest police car to be arrested. After the incident, the Lakers star told cameras:

“Unfortunately there was a situation at the club and some people had too much to drink, and got unruly and aggressive. I tried to diffuse the situation. Some people just don’t think clearly when they’ve had too much to drink — it’s an unfortunate reality.”

It is DEFINITELY an unfortunate reality, but thank heavens some gentlemen still have the decency to diffuse a violent situation when they see one.

Men should NEVER hit a woman (unless she’s coming at your Fatal Attraction style, then it’s okay to defend yourself) and we’re glad Ron acted while others did nothing.
