'Bumfights' Filmmakers Face Charges Thu Sep 26, 7:41 AM ET By SETH HETTENA, Associated Press Writer
SAN DIEGO (AP) - In one videotape, a homeless man is seen ripping out his front tooth with pliers. Another rams his head into a steel door, and others stomp and pummel each other until they are bloody.
Authorities say the makers of the tapes offered homeless men food, shelter, liquor and money to hurt each other, then sold thousands of the videos, titled "Bumfights," over the Internet. Four men accused of making or selling the tapes have been charged, prosecutors said Wednesday.
