Zac Efron was at the wrong place at the wrong time!
Who do you find on skid row in the wee hours of the mornin’? Druggies Zac Efron…. and why? Well he was just sitting in the car under a bridge because he ran out of gas…. at least that was the poor excuse he gave the cops.
Unfortunately, it resulted in getting socked in the mouth by a transient after he tried to get out of the car.
Find out the full details of the fight below!
We’re told cops were on patrol under the Harbor Freeway when they saw Zac and a man he identified as his bodyguard. Cops saw Zac and the other guy in a full-blown melee with at least 3 other people.
After breaking up the fight, cops questioned Zac. He told them they had run out of gas and were sitting in the car. Zac said while waiting for a tow truck they threw a bottle out the window — he never said what was in the bottle — and it smashed on the pavement near a group of transients.
Zac said the transients confronted him and the bodyguard because they believed the pair hurled the bottle at them. Zac says 2 of the transients attacked the bodyguard and when Zac got out of the car to help, he got cold cocked in the mouth. Zac said, “It was the hardest I’ve ever been hit in my life.”
You’ll recall … Zac mysteriously broke his jaw in November, saying he slipped on a pool of water in his home. Zac was in rehab twice last year for cocaine abuse.
The area where this occurred is rough. Cops are on high alert for drug deals and gangs. One source says Zac was “obviously intoxicated.”
Law enforcement tells TMZ … no one was arrested because they viewed it as “mutual combat.”
