Actor Zac Efron was involved in a fight in a dangerous neighborhood in Los Angeles, and was punched in the mouth.

In the company of his bodyguard, Zac Efron said he ran out of gas and while they waited for a tow truck, people threw a bottle inside his car, and the bodyguard reacted to the aggression and Efron got involved to back him up.

Policemen patrolled the area, considered to be one of the city's most dangerous, and noticed the fight and approached to separate the men, according to TMZ.

After ending the fight, the police interrogated the actor, who said that his bodyguard and him confronted the men thinking they had thrown the bottle into the car, without detailing the contents or the type of the bottle.

A punch to the mouth to anyone else might not be news or even much of annoyance; however, for Zac Efron it wasn't just a punch. In November, Zac Efron broke his jaw when he slipped on a puddle in his house.

The reasons for which Zac Efron was in a high risk neighborhood in Los Angeles are unknown. In said area, authorities intensified their patrols due to the high number of drug dealing gangs and it's no secret that Zac Efron is in constant rehab, at least twice a year, over his use of cocaine.
