If your Josh Hartnett's pal and get into a scuffle don’t count on him to save you or back you up. Hartnett was "involved in a bar fight" on Feb. 17 outside the Lower East Side watering hole Whiskey Ward.
According to the New York Post, "Hartnett was with a group of very aggressive guys and two girls," said a Whiskey Ward patron. "One of the girls in his group claimed a guy in the bar pushed her, and Josh's friends started getting really heated."
Witnesses reveal Hartnett did try to cool down the argument inside the bar but by closing time, the boys took the drama outside and the actor stood by quietly. "At about 4:15, a group of guys jumped [a fellow patron]," said a female witness to the incident.
"They threw him to ground and kicked him. And Josh was just standing by and watching," said the observer, who recounts that the whole fight lasted about four or five minutes.
Many claim Hartnett's pals were the aggressive jerks that’s stirred the fight and some claim it was the other group. Whatever the case is Josh is getting heat for not stepping up for his friends. Its pretty much a lose lose situation, he gets shit for not stepping up and getting involved, but if he did get involved, I'm sure someone would be suing his ass for some quick cash.
