Mass catfight erupts at Texas state fair

Chaotic video captured the disturbing moment a mass catfight erupted at a Texas state fair over the weekend. 

The dramatic incident occurred Saturday evening at the South Texas State Fair in Beaumont – about 90 minutes outside of Houston. 

Footage posted to Facebook showed a large group of what appeared to be juveniles gathered near the Ferris wheel as multiple brawls broke out.  

At one point, a group of young girls were seen throwing and kicking each other to the ground while people shrieked in fear. 

Officers with the Beaumont Police Department were also seen in the clip quickly responding to the incident, as one of the cops even pulled out a weapon while holding one of the fighters down on the ground. 

It is unclear if the weapon was a gun or a taser. It is also unclear if any of those involved were arrested or if anyone was injured.

The video first showed a group of young boys throwing punches at each other as a police officer stepped in and tackled one of them to the pavement.

‘Oh, the police there,’ a person, who appeared to be recording the video on a cell phone, said. 

Another angle showed what appeared to be a mix of both boys and girls brawling. 

A police officer then stepped in between the group and placed both his arms out in an attempt to break up the commotion, but the scene raged on. 

Soon enough, another officer, with a bike helmet on his head, tackled a boy to the ground and knelt over him before drawing out some sort of weapon. 

People surrounding the officer and boy quickly ran away after the officer did so. 

The boy on the ground then rolled over and appeared to run off as more cops joined the scene and further fights broke out. 

At one point, a group of girls were seen stomping each other and swinging their arms as blood curdling screams were heard in the background. 

A group of girls, and what appeared to be an older woman, were seen pulling each other’s hair in the clip.   

One girl fell to the ground, but before she could get up, another ran over to her and punched her repeatedly in the face.  

The clip ended with cops still trying to get the situation under control as the group appeared to disperse.
