A fight broke out in the stands during Gateway Community College's graduation ceremony on Thursday, May 21, at Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater in Bridgeport, CT.

Three people were arrested, including 28-year-old Tyvonna Bradley of New Haven, 35-year-old Erika Price of New York and 34-year-old Takira Simmons of New York. The New Haven Register reported all three are charged with second-degree breach of peace, a misdemeanor, and both Bradley and Price also are charged with assault of a public safety officer, a felony. None of those charged were graduates, faculty or staff.

On the video footage, you can hear people asking where is security while the announcer is asking people to stop fighting.

"Will you stop it, come on now, we're at a graduation, let's enjoy ourselves, lets have some love and peace," he said. "Love, come on, spread some love."

Here's another angle.
