The statement goes on to say the attackers were identified as city workers from Cuauhtémoc, a Mexico City borough. The Mexico City Public Safety Office tweeted on Wednesday that the incident was a "brawl" and that at no point was the film crew subject to assault. At that point, the film crew tried to explain they had a permit and were allowed to be there. The city crew disagreed, the attorney general's office said, which ignited the violence.
