Police in Lawrence Township say a hard hit in a youth football game sparked a fight that eventually involved coaches and parents.
Police are seeking video footage of the Friday brawl at a township park.
Responding officers say a hard hit resulted in a dispute between players.
According to Detective Lt. Joseph Amodio, a coach apparently tried to break up the fight, but ended up drawing in the opposing team's coaches, and eventually parents.
Amoido says no arrests were made at the scene, but police are attempting to sort it out and investigate.
Local youth leagues were not immediately available for comment Monday.
AP wire services helped contribute to this report.
