The Lakewood Police Department is hoping the public can help investigators learn more about a fight that broke out at a children's baseball game.
Police said the fight occurred shortly before noon Saturday at Westgate Elementary School. Several injuries were reported, including one seriously.
"Coaches and parents, unhappy with a baseball game involving 7-year-olds and a 13-year-old umpire, took over the field and began assaulting each other," police said on its Facebook page.
Video shows parents taking to the field, battling one another and throwing punches. The young players stood by, watching the whole thing.
"I think the saddest part in all of this is we're talking about a 7-year-old baseball game," police spokesman John Romero said. "I think it's the parents who have to grow up."
Police are looking for any information about the fight. They would especially like to know the name of a man seen on video who is wearing a white shirt and teal shorts.
Police said the man sucker-punched another man and could face assault charges.
Police said four people have been cited for disorderly conduct and fighting in public. There are no reports of any children being injured.
