When Trevor approached the fight, he saw Zack on top of Pat, punching him repeatedly. Trevor approached Zack and yelled, "Stop!" and "Security!" Zack would not stop punching Pat. Trevor removed Zack from Pat and tried to restrain him as he was thrashing around the bar. Zack head-butted Trevor in attempt to get away, causing Trevor to fallback.
