Mayor Kevin Johnson Hit With Pie At Event; Man, 32, Arrested

9:00 a.m. UPDATE: KHTK Sports 1140 interviewed Urijah Faber on The Drive on Thursday morning about what he described as a fist fight after the mayor was hit with a pie.

"This isn't like smush a pie in your buddy's face, it was like punch guy with a pie in your hand," he said. "Guy snuck up on KJ and basically punched him in the face with a pie, and KJ reacted, and it ended up both KJ and the guy on the floor and the guy beat up, detained and taken away by the cops."

He described the suspect as looking disheveled.

"He attacked the wrong person," Faber said. "There's probably only one or two other people at that event you wouldn't want to attack besides KJ."

Faber disagreed with reports that KJ had beaten the suspect to a bloody pulp. He said the mayor did jokingly call him out later in the event wondering where the fighter was to back him up.

MMA fighter Urijah Faber posted a witness account on Snapchat after the attack.

He says after he was hit, the mayor "took [Thompson] out, bloodied him up, put him down."
