New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell was in a shoving and screaming match with a woman in a bathroom this weekend.

You can see the mayor and the woman in a heated conversation before there is physical contact.

The Mayor's Office of Communications released a statement in which the administration insisits Mayor Cantrell is de-escalating the altercation.

“Mayor Cantrell intervened to diffuse a potentially violent situation. Upon witnessing an altercation, the Mayor acted in a manner in which she always implores our residents: if you see something, do something,” said Gregory Joseph, Director of Communications.

It happened as Rob49 was performing at the Fillmore.
