About 200 people were in a large fight at a baby shower in Massachusetts Saturday night. The event was thrown at Club Luis de Camoes when the large brawl ensued with bottles, punches, and chairs being thrown throughout the club. Many people as well as police officers recorded the fights on camera attached to their tasers. Four people including a 14-year-old boy was arrested.

Sgt. Daniel McGowan stated Sunday, "Oh my God. It was just nonstop. There would be a skirmish in this corner, we'd go over to address it, and then another one would start up somewhere else," McGowan added, "It was a nightmare." 

Officials said there were many small children at the event that witnessed the fight and police tried to protect the children while trying to stop the massive fight, "The behavior (of the partygoers) was appalling. They not only put officers at risk, but their own children at risk during all this," said Executive Officer Robert Devine.

The Stoughton police called for help from several neighboring counties. In total 30 officers reported to the scenes from, Stoughton, Canton, Randolph, Easton, state police and the sheriff's department responded. Some partygoers reportedly assaulted officers and one person had to be shocked by a taser.

Three Brockton men and a 14-year-old boy were arrested: Patrick Cardoso Lopes, 24,; Paulo Pires Depina, 24, and Aderito Lopes Deandrade, 22. The 14-year-old juvenile was not identified, but all men were charged with: disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and assault and battery on a police officer. In addition, Lopes, Deandrade, and the 14-year-old were also charged with obstruction of justice, a felony. Lopes faces another charge for intimidation of a witness,
