An argument during the New Jersey grade school wrestling championships led to a bleacher-clearing parent melee with screaming, shoving and kicking, videos show and some in attendance confirmed.

The fight started around 1:30 p.m. Sunday at Phillipsburg High School in Lopatcong Township, according to videos posted of the incident on YouTube and X, formerly Twitter. A youth wrestling match can be seen going on in the foreground.

According to the videos, the fight starts between two men, with shouting and a shove. Then, the bleachers clear and people start pulling, pushing and shoving each other. One person can be seen getting kicked in the head.

The video posters did not respond to requests for comment.
