Have you ever seen a celebrity try to stop a brawl? I'm sure it's happened, but not very often. I've never seen it. I'm sure many of them are afraid of getting sued. Especially if they're super famous and worth a lot of money.

Elvis had just landed in Madison after a show in Iowa. He was on his way to the Dane County Coliseum to perform when his limo was stopped at a light. He witnessed the incident and jumped out to help the poor victim.

When the bullies saw Elvis emerge from the Limo, they thought it would be better to just take off than challenge the King. Remember, he was trained in the martial arts. Could you imagine being in that situation? What a great story. By the way, Elvis did this while wearing one of his famous jumpsuits.
