MESA, AZ (AZFamily) — Police from multiple agencies responded to reports of a large fight at a sports complex in Mesa during a youth soccer event Sunday.
Just after 1 p.m., officers responded to reports of a large fight at the Arizona Athletic Grounds (AAG) in Mesa.
Mesa Police said off-duty officers reported that 100 people were fighting at one of the soccer fields. Because so many people were involved, the officers requested backup from multiple agencies.
In total, 37 Mesa, 22 Gilbert, eight Queen Creek officers, as well as three Maricopa County Sheriff deputies responded to the scene.
Police said that AAG was hosting a youth soccer tournament and that during a game, a fight broke out between 10 players from each team. Then, parents and spectators got involved, according to officers.
Within 45 minutes, officers cleared all the soccer fields. Luckily, no one was hurt. No one was arrested either.
All of the remaining games on the fields have been cancelled for the day.
The park remains open for indoor activities including volleyball and basketball. Police said that as of 5 p.m., everything was running smoothly at the facility.
