This college basketball brawl featured steel chair shots and fans fighting on the court

All hell broke loose for a college basketball game between LeMoyne-Owen and Lane College.

A folding chair, a brawl and mass chaos — sounds like an episode of The Boondocks.

But that was the scene in Memphis for a mid-January college basketball game between LeMoyne-Owen and Lane College that had to be postponed after players started scrapping with each other on the court.

The game started physical, according to a local news affiliate, with a handful of fouls called in the opening moments of the first quarter. But a melee broke out after a player was tripped, culminating with what appeared to be a fan striking a student-athlete with a folding chair before referees restrained him.

The player’s teammates came to his aid, swarming the assailant as the brawl reached its boiling point. Later in the video, you can see fans attacking a player, attempting to rip the jersey off of his body.

It is unclear if the game will be rescheduled for a future date.
