A large brawl that broke out at a Pennsylvania fire department’s annual carnival has spurred them to permanently shut down the event.
Police say fights started breaking out around 9:30 p.m. Thursday after a large crowd had gathered at the Aston Township Fire Department’s Spring Carnival. As more people became involved, police from several departments responded to help break up the brawl.
Several arrests were made as officers dispersed the crowd. But it wasn’t clear if anyone was injured.
The fire department issued a statement saying the carnival — a major fundraiser which was due to run through Saturday — would instead be immediately shuttered. They also said no further carnivals would be held because the event has “turned into a landing spot for out of town troublemakers.”
