A Pennsylvania high school basketball game saw a wild brawl in the bleachers end with arrests this past Friday night.

The game between Uniontown and Meadville  got physical, but not with players on the court. Rather, it was parents in the stands, as at least two adult men were seen throwing punches, which led to quite the scene.

Video circulating online of the incident appears to show coaches and referees moving both teams to their benches in the fourth quarter. Then, cameras quickly shift to two men throwing punches at each in the stands, with many trying to break it up.

"I've never seen anything this ugly break out in person," an announcer on  during the game said. "This was really a shame."

 learned from Meadville police that they intend "to be charging several fans and players. Most likely with Disorderly Conduct."

Announcers for the game noted a technical foul being called on Uniontown after a foul by Meadville was making the crowd upset before the brawl.

"Uniontown fans are going after the officials here a little bit," the announcer said. "You might have some ejections here."

Because of what occurred, the game was called by officials with 3:12 left in the fourth quarter, where Meadville was leading Uniontown, 63-55.

This game was the first round of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association's 5A state tournament, and the  as of 5:27 p.m. on Monday states a "double forfeiture" with neither team moving on.
