Un-childish temper: Parents stage mass brawl at under-7s baseball game (VIDEO)
A youth baseball game in the US turned into a huge brawl after parents attending the sports event started punching and kicking each other following a controversial decision made by the match umpire.
Tempers began to fray at an under-7s baseball game in Lakewood, California after dozens of adult spectators disagreed with a decision made by a 13-year-old umpire officiating at the match.
The heated verbal exchange between parents rapidly escalated into a massive fist-fight which was staged right on the field in front of the shocked kids who participated in the game.
Video posted by Lakewood Police Department shows a man wearing a white T-shirt brutally hitting another man in the head several time, before eventually knocking him out.
These adults took over the field and began assaulting each other on 6/15 during a youth baseball game. We're looking for any info, in particular to ID the man in the white shirt/teal shorts. Several people have already been cited in this fight and injuries were reported. pic.twitter.com/ieenhwCrbU
