Blood stains, broken crystal bowls reported after brawl at New York wedding reception

Published January 08, 2015

Police are investigating a large brawl that broke out at the end of a wedding reception held over the weekend at an upstate New York country club.

The Buffalo News reported that family members were heard screaming that they hate each other hours after the bride and groom said, "I do."

Officials told local media that seven different police agencies were called in late Saturday to break up the fight at the Orchard Park Country Club in suburban Buffalo. Officers say dozens of the approximately 200 guests were involved in the melee, which broke out after a member of the wedding party was tossed off the premises for inappropriate behavior.

"I'm telling you, there was blood everywhere," one person who worked the event told the paper. "There was holes punched in the walls. Words couldn't describe it. Just when you thought it was over, another fight started."

Ambulance crews treated several people for injuries, including a 39-year-old man who was taken to a Buffalo hospital for treatment of a head injury. Police say damage to the banquet room included holes in walls, blood stains and broken crystal bowls. A manager at the club Sunday denied a fight had occurred, the paper reported.

No arrests have been reported.
