Footage of Bam Margera during a recent street fight in Los Angeles has surfaced online.
A video obtained by TMZ shows the 44-year-old troubled star in a violent confrontation with an unknown man.
The Jackass personality took to Instagram on Monday to explain that he had fought in self-defense and complained that the police never arrived despite calling several times.

He wrote in the post’s caption on Monday, “Regarding the hobo fight, I called 911 8 times and waited almost 3 hours but no cops ever showed up!”

The Jackass personality took to Instagram on Monday to explain that he had fought in self-defense and complained that the police never arrived despite calling several times.
He added that he was encouraged by “the entire neighborhood” to participate in the altercation.
“…and the whole neighborhood told me to handle it…and then they clapped when I was done because he finally shut up,” he finished before signing off with his name.
In the outtake he shared with his nearly 100,000 followers, Bam shouted into his iPhone that it had been “two o’clock” and “you guys haven’t done anything.”
He alerted the 911 operator, “I’m filming this and I’m going to send it to the news. You don’t do nonsense.’
The expletive-filled recording showed Bam visibly irritated as he sat on a couch in a T-shirt and lounge pants.
During the phone call, he pleaded, “Get a police officer here. The Los Angeles Police Department is fucking worthless.”
Bam went on to say, “We’ve been trying to sleep for two hours and this guy is throwing all over the place and no one showed up.”
The fight took place last week, according to TMZ, who contacted his Margera’s manager Margera Mike Quinn.
Also on Monday, the former MTV star recorded himself after getting a tattoo that he didn’t like
Bam complained that his latest facial tattoo was ‘f*****g crooked’
Quinn said the scuffle occurred after a stranger “threatened to kill Bam and his entourage outside the property where Bam was staying.”
“This individual, who had been relentlessly pacing the neighborhood for hours and causing unrest by shouting and knocking over trash cans, escalated the confrontation by punching Margera as he stepped outside to smoke,” he said.
And Bam shared, “I will not allow myself to be threatened or attacked without defending myself and my friends, or people who try to walk past this idiot. I just wanted to neutralize the threat and ensure the safety of my crew.”
It added that the fight ended quickly and the perpetrator left the scene without returning.
Margera has since been posting scenes from a trip to Ireland on social media.
On Monday, the former MTV star admitted himself after getting a tattoo he didn’t like.
He began the video, which was shot outside on the street: “So here I am in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and I just landed from Los Angeles and got a tattoo from Apollo from Santa Monica, who charged me $780 for something that lasted 12 minutes. and it’s fucking crooked.’
He turned to a business in front of him on the sidewalk as he explained, “So now I’m here getting ready to fix it and he’s talking all this on Reddit, saying I didn’t want to pay and it took ‘two and a half hours .”‘
Bam said the police were called and he ended up paying the tattoo artist $400.

On Sunday he shared photos with his fiancée Dannii Marie

It comes after Bam last month denied he had relapsed after he was caught on camera arguing with his fiancée Dannii.
A video showed him calling his partner, 35, a “f*****gb***h” as the pair argued at a Nashville hotel.
The star told TMZ that the disagreement started when he stepped outside to smoke a cigarette while his wife-to-be feared he had left to do drugs.
Marie was filmed apologizing as Margera said: “If you were sorry you would cry and hug me, f*****gb***h!”
He then told her to “get a drug test done,” to which she replied, “I’m sorry and I love you.”
Bam later said that Marie “expressed concern” and that he appreciates her looking out for him as he credited her with keeping him sober.
He also revealed that he took a urine test that day to confirm to Marie that he was still sober.
His rep told TMZ: “Good news, Bam remains sober. The personal incident outside a hotel, involving Bam and his fiancée Dannii, stemmed from Dannii’s concern for Bam’s well-being.
‘This misunderstanding between the couple was, as expected, resolved positively a little later. Bam continues to take voluntary urine tests on a regular basis to confirm his sobriety.”
In March, Bam denied relapsing after he was caught on camera arguing with his fiancée Dannii

In December, a California court granted Margera supervised visitation by his five-year-old son Phoenix, whom he shares with his estranged wife Nicole Boyd.
His visitation schedule, issued by the family court, was reviewed by The Blast, which reported that visits are limited to locations in California on Saturdays and Sundays for four hours at a time.
Margera, who announced his engagement to fitness model Marie at the end of 2023, must give Boyd at least one week’s notice, court documents show.
Under the terms of the court, Margera’s visits to Phoenix must be supervised by a third party that both he and Boyd agree to.
If Margera and Boyd cannot agree, the court says the visits will be “professionally supervised” by a party that Boyd chooses (from three options), and to which Margera agrees within three days.
