Women Fight Over Parking Spot At Houston Zoo On Free Admission Day

Check out this parking lot brawl  in Houston between two groups of women over a parking spot. But who got the spot?

This video makes you wonder if the animals in the zoo are even as wild as these women on the streets.

The Houston Zoo was hosting Free Admission Day on Tuesday when this brawl broke out in the parking lot of the zoo.

Linda Padilla was the woman who videotaped the fist-throwing, hair-pulling brawl in the parking lot. On that day, the parking lot was full and there were several cars  circling the parking lot looking for spaces. The fight started when a woman jumped out of a car and ran to stand in an empty spot while the vehicle she was in circled around. Another car that was closer to the spot pulled up and tried to park in the spot.

Here's what Padilla told ABC 13 News:

"I heard the woman yell, 'I'm saving this spot and you can't have it.' The lady tried to pull in and that's when the lady walked up and hit her car. Then the lady jumps out of her car and they started going at it."

After that another woman got out of her car and the fight intensified. The video shows several women fighting, hair pulling and hitting one another. Right in the middle of the fight, another woman shows up and tries to put her stroller in the spot. It is unknown if there was a child in the stroller when she parked it.

Police were called but by the time the Houston Police arrived the women were all gone.

After the video went viral, the Houston Zoo released a statement regarding the parking lot brawl:

'While the parking lot outside the Houston Zoo front entrance is not owned or managed by the zoo, we were disappointed to see the behavior displayed by the adults in the video. The safety and security of our guests is our priority and we work diligently with our staff and HPD to ensure visitors to the Houston Zoo are safe.'
