A large brawl which appeared to involve at least a dozen fans broke out at a men’s college basketball game between Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and Saint Louis on Tuesday, causing the game to be halted for a number of minutes.

Security and police quickly rushed in to try and break it up, while players on the court remained in their huddles. CBS Sports coverage also picked up other fans apparently booing those involved in the fight.Footage captured by CNN affiliate KSDK News appeared to show an older man emerging from the melee with blood on his face and neck.
In his post-match press conference, Billikens head coach Josh Schertz chose to focus on the positive energy brought by fans. Having already played each other once this season before Tuesday – a 78-62 win for VCU on January 14 – the teams can only meet again this season if they do so in the A-10 conference tournament in March.
