PHOENIX (AP) — A fight broke out during a funeral at a Phoenix church after a friend of the departed punched a man who had reportedly been fighting with the deceased before he died.
Phoenix police say the fight broke out Friday afternoon when the unidentified friend recognized the other man and punched him "in honor of the fallen."
The Arizona Republic (http://bit.ly/A5JRMm) reports many of the other people attending began fighting, but there were no injuries, no shots fired and no arrests when officers broke up the scuffle.
Neither the person who instigated the fight nor the man he punched was identified.
Police didn't immediately release any more information on the altercation.
