The Boston Pops Brawl

bostonpops_fight.jpgWhen someone mentions a brawl, you picture maybe 10-15 people fighting it out. Such a thing can be seen at a baseball, basketball, soccer, or football game. But at a classical concert hall???

During opening night for the Boston Pops Orchestra at Symphony Hall, a fistfight broke out in the balcony. Television cameras caught two men struggling in the balcony -- one with his shirt pulled off -- as several people stood around them.

Both men were later escorted out.

One of the men, Matthew Ellinger, says the trouble started when the man in front of him wouldn't stop talking during the concert. He says when he asked him to quiet down, the guy threatened to throw him off the balcony. Ellinger called an usher. Witnesses say the man then punched the victim in the face and grabbed him by the hair.
