Fireworks weren't the only thing going off on July 4th, as actor Danny Trejo was caught on camera losing his cool during a parade in Los Angeles.

The 80-year-old Machete actor was making an appearance at the Sunland-Tujunga Independence Day parade when someone allegedly threw a water balloon at the classic car he was sitting in, ABC7 reported.

A video of the incident shows Trejo sitting in a classic white convertible and smiling for photos.

According to witnesses, at some point during the photoshoot, someone threw a water balloon at Trejo.

The footage then shows Trejo approaching a man in the crowd and throwing a punch at him.

The man fights back and, although he doesn't hit Trejo, he sends the actor stumbling backwards and to the ground.

The man who punched Trejo then punches another man, knocking him to the ground as well.

A larger fight reportedly broke out in the crowd, during which Trejo allegedly grabbed a folding chair and threw it into the chaos.

Bystanders, many of whom were trying to protect children during the incident, quickly intervened to break up the fight and restore order.

Trejo is seen in the footage arguing with a woman who appears to be trying to restrain him.

Police were called to respond to a fight at the scene, but the fight had already stopped by the time they arrived.

No arrests have been made.

After the incident, Trejo spoke to TMZand called the water balloon thrower a coward who had acted childishly by throwing it at his car.

He said he was not injured in the fight.

The outcry came just days after the actor announced that his 16-year-old chihuahua, Dixie, had died.

Trejo is known for playing tough characters on screen. Before his acting career, he struggled with drug addiction and spent time locked up in San Quentin State Prison. He got sober in 1968 and, upon his release, began acting.

He had an eclectic career and is best known for his role as Machete in several Robert Rodriguez films.
