A baby was caught in the middle of a brawl involving two men at a Pennsylvania kindergarten graduation ceremony, shocking video showed.
The two adults scrapped near chairs as all hell broke loose inside the gymnasium at the Ben Franklin Elementary School in Harrisburg, Pa., last Thursday, WHP reported.
Two men, one wearing a yellow hoodie and another wearing a white shirt, brawled at the back of the gym and dragged each other to the ground.
The man in white was clutching onto a baby as he had his opponent in a headlock, prompting one horrified parent to yell, “Oh my God, get the baby!”
The baby was eventually removed from harm’s way – but the two brawlers continued to trade blows.
They were eventually separated, but the man wearing yellow, who was left with a bloodied tongue, had to be restrained.
A stray arm was thrown before both men were pushed out of the auditorium.
One man, described by Harrisburg cops as the “aggressor,” was charged with disorderly conduct and trespassing. He has not been identified.
“No further police involvement was needed,” said Captain Kyle Gautsch.
The brawl went viral – and locals and school officials were left disturbed.
“It’s terrible,” Katherine Camilli said.
“I can’t believe that happened. I don’t know why you would fight at a graduation.”
“We are extremely disappointed in the behavior displayed by adults involved in the domestic dispute incident at Ben Elementary Franklin School,” a spokesperson told PennLive.
“The Harrisburg School District does not condone such behavior, nor will it be tolerated on school property.”
Brawls at kindergarten graduation ceremonies have not been uncommon this season.
Last month, an out-of-control melee broke out at the Queen of Apostles Catholic School in Toledo, Ohio, which resulted in one woman, Jessica Anderson, being charged.
She was slapped with an assault charge after a video appeared to show her yanking another woman’s hair during the scuffle.
