Wedding reception at country club ends with brawl

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Police say they’re investigating a large brawl that broke out at the end of a wedding reception held over the weekend at a suburban Buffalo country club.

Officials tell local media that seven different police agencies were called in late Saturday to break up the fight at the Orchard Park Country Club. 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.

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.

No arrests have been reported.
