LAS VEGAS, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- A brawl broke out in a Las Vegas bar this week when a short person dressed in an Oompa Loompa costume took offense at being called a midget.

Wee Matt and another short person hired as entertainment were turfed from the Hogs and Heifers Saloon Monday after Wee Matt allegedly punched the patron who called him a midget, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Wednesday.

Bar owner Michelle Dell said the 4-foot-2, 80-pounder "started swinging and spit on the guy and had to be pulled away" by a member of her security staff.

The pair of Oompa Loompas allegedly had been downing shots of tequila prior to the incident.
