This man walks by me, bumps into my camera man and throws a kick at us for no reason."The YouTuber continued:"My friends stepped in. And yeah, then everything else happened. But like bro, I'm not trying to fight this guy. I'm not trying to instigate a fight. I'm trying to stay out of trouble. I'm on bond right now. You think we're trying to start fights. Hell no, like, that guy started the whole thing. You can see it. Its all video, so, I don't know why everyone is trying to blame it on me...you can see I did nothing to start the fight."Other footage has emerged on social media, which seems to contradict Doherty's statement.
