It is unknown how the fight began, but it began under a pop-up tent seen on top of a soccer field. It eventually spread to a fence, where Newton was seen holding onto someone as people tried to break up the fight.
Then a man in a white T-shirt came in and threw a hard punch, although it didn’t appear that anyone was seriously hurt. A security officer also ended up jumping into the middle of things, as everyone began to disperse.
Instagram Stories from Newton’s “C1N” team account show him wearing the all-black suit with a top hat, which is also seen in the video.
