A BRAWL broke out at the Metrodome after an American Wrestling event last weekend.

Wrestling fans of all ages, including families, children and young people, were held inside the building after the fight broke out on the road leading in and out of the leisure complex.

A spokesman for the Metrodome said: "A number of individuals who had been in Metrodome bowling were involved in an altercation which resulted in the police being called and statements being taken.

"For safety reasons, a number of customers leaving the American wrestling event which had been taking place in the arena, were asked to remain inside the building while the situation was diffused by Metrodome staff and the police."
