Billy Bob Thornton has nothing on these Bad Santas…

While out on a festive themed pub crawl dubbed ‘SantaCon’, the Santa Claws were out as these six Santas ended up fighting each other on a slippery street near New York’s Union Square, for some unknown reason.

Maybe someone brought up the fact that Mrs Claus has put on a few pounds this year, or maybe it had something to do with Rudolph’s red nose, but either way it’s safe to say these Santas won’t be making the good list this year.

Speaking about the incident, NYPD spokesman Sgt. Lee Jones said, “We’re looking into it.

“We don’t have any reported assaults right now. We know about it.”

Here’s what the video’s uploader, Chris Lau, had to say about the footage: “Uploaded on the holiest of holidays, Santacon 2013. Santas engage in a spirited fight on the streets of NYC.”
