Boston Pops Brawl?
Saturday, May 12, 2007
According to an Associated Press article, a brawl that broke out between two audience members at a recent Boston Pops concert has received national attention:

The balcony brawl at Symphony Hall Wednesday night drew international attention, including jokes on "The Tonight Show." Conductor Keith Lockhart briefly stopped the opening night performance while officers escorted the two fighters out of the hall.

Twenty-7-year-old Matthew Ellenger says the incident began when he told 44-year-old Michael Hallam to be quiet during the performance. Ellenger says after some continued bickering, Hallam punched him. We haven't heard Hallam's side of the story yet.
