A recent St. Louis brawl broke out in Poelker Park, which is near City Hall, according to an article on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch website. The park is a popular place for people to hang out, especially during the spring and summer months. In this particular case, officers who were working in one of the Civil Court buildings observed people fighting in the park. They alerted additional police officers of the disturbance.

When the police arrived, fights had broken out, and people were also throwing beer cans. Approximately twenty people were involved in the brawl, and police officers made five arrests. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.
