Connecticut community college graduation spirals out of control after 2 families erupt in vicious brawl

Three people were arrested, including two from New York, during a wild brawl that broke out at a community college graduation in Connecticut — after lax arena security failed to stomp it out.

The commencement plunged into chaos when two families allegedly started throwing punches that ignited a melee during the Gateway Community College graduation ceremony at the Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater on Thursday.

Police were called in to reports of a massive fight at the arena around 6:15 p.m., and were forced to wade into the melee to separate the participants, News 8 reported.
