An annual charity hockey game between New York City cops and firefighters held Sunday at the Nassau Coliseum has been generating headlines for all the wrong reasons.
With the score tied at 3 in the second period, the FDNY and NYPD found themselves in a bench-clearing brawl. As Deadspin reports: "Cops and firefighters were beating the crap out of each other."
According to the New York Post the brawl led to a 25-minute delay during which some partisan fans could be heard chanting "PD sucks, PD sucks."
Nevertheless, the cops went on to win 8-5.
