15-Year-Old Kid Captures Hotel Wedding Fight on Video

A wedding should be an event the bride and groom will never forget.

However, in the case of a weekend wedding brawl at a Philadelphia hotel, it looks like one particular wedding was memorable for all the wrong reasons.

A fight broke out a the hotel between guests of two different wedding parties.

Three people were arrested and one man died of an apparent heart attack as a result of the brawl at the Sheraton Society Hill hotel lobby.

The fight reportedly broke out at 2 a.m. and dozens of police officers responded to break up the fight.

The dustup was so chaotic, police had to use batons and even used a Taser on one of the guests.

The man who died, an uncle of one of the brides, was found on the street outside of the hotel suffering from a heart attack and later died at the hospital.

Hotel guest Chris Himes told reporters, "I just thought it was very sad, because it's suppose to be a special occasion and for something like that to happen, I just felt bad for the families."

15-year-old Max Schultz, a guest at the hotel who captured the wedding fight on video, said, "There were tons of people, probably 75 to 100 people."

According to police, the fight began when relatives and friends at one wedding at the hotel got into a scuffle, but guests arriving at the hotel bar following a second wedding added to the melee.

Alcohol was said to be a factor in the wedding fight.

I was at this unfortunate event. Prior to the point which the video captures, officers shoved the bride. Sofka put his hand on the officer to step back and was then engaged by several officers. This, unfortunately led to the brawling. Officers absolutely abused their powers. Some should loose their badges. These folks had nothing to do with the fight in the bar section of the hotel. This was escalated by the officers.
