Several people interfered with the arrests, according to police, and police warned them to stand back or get arrested for obstructing.
As a result, police arrested seven people on the scene. Two people were taken by ambulance to a local hospital for injuries sustained during the fight.
All seven people arrested were expected to be arraigned in District Court 4th Division this week.
