Kevin Johnson

Kevin Johnson is accused of beating a man up after being hit with a pie to the face during a dinner on Wednesday, though there are differing reports about what actually happened.

The East Bay Express reports that the Sacramento mayor “tackled and assaulted the protester in a ‘bloody’ brawl” after being hit with a pie to the face during a dinner event.

The protester allegedly hit Johnson with a store-bought pie to the face and received the wrath of Johnson.

The East Bay Express described it like this: “This prompted [Johnson] to allegedly tackle the protester and punch him in the face “repeatedly,” more than half a dozen times, landing “five to 10″ blows.”

The dinner celebrated Sacramento’s Farm-to-Fork week and was held at Sacramento High School. About 200 students reportedly were in attendance.
