An all-out brawl broke out on the streets of New York after a group of Pokemon GO players gathered in a park.
The area where the fight occurred is said to be a hot-spot for users of the popular app.
Cell phone video captured the moment a rowdy crowd turned violent. One young man punched another two times before knocking him to the ground.
Chris Miranda said he was there and involved.
“They got out of the car and they came over just running their mouths trying to fight and everyone kept telling them we’re not fighting here, this is a public park, there’s kids,” said Miranda.
Another Pokemon GO player said she sees dozens of people playing the game at the park every day.
Video of the fight was posted to YouTube and dubbed a huge Pokemon brawl.
According to Miranda, the fight wasn’t about the popular game at all, but rather some nasty words that escalated to violence.
“The guy who was coming at him he said don’t come at me and the guy kept coming at him so he hit him,” said Miranda.
Police officers arrived and the crowd scattered, said Miranda.
