Jim Jones is unscathed.

Yesterday, footage of Jim Jones getting into a physical altercation with two men at an airport surfaced online, and it's since gone viral. The clip shows Jones standing on an escalator when things take a turn for the worse. A man is seen lunging towards him, sending them both flying down the escalator and taking out a seemingly innocent bystander. Once they reached the bottom, another man appeared to jump in. He threw a few punches before airport security got involved and broke it up. It remains unclear what prompted the brawl.

In the footage, Jones is heard telling onlookers that the men were "jumping" him, and emphasizing that it was two against one. He maintained a similar sentiment in a chat with TMZ shortly after the incident. “I was minding my business and defended myself," he told the outlet. "They got what they were looking for."
