Police in Rochester, NY, said hundreds of people had been involved in fighting that erupted after a football match in high school.
The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reports that it took more than an hour for the police to disperse the fighting that followed Friday's match between East High School and Irondequoit High School.
Police said the police were bombarded with stones and bottles when they tried to intervene. The police used pepper spray to disperse the crowd.
Captain Naser Zenelovic said that an officer had suffered minor injuries and that the nose of a 16-year-old boy had been broken. Several people, all supposed to be students, were arrested.
Shaun Nelms, director of East High School, said the fighting had started outside the stadium. He says that "the community is responsible" for the violence.
East defeated Irondequoit 34-14.
