Sixteen young people, seven of them minors, have been arrested in the Madrid town of Parla after engaging in a massive fight.

Four arrested for stabbing a man to death in a brawl in Madrid
Upon arrival, they found a real battlefield in which at least two dozen young people were fighting using baseball bats and belts as weapons. The officers also found a machete that could belong to one of the young people.
Due to the large number of people involved in the brawl, the officers had to call for backup. This gave the participants in the fight the opportunity to flee.
However, they managed to arrest 16 young people, whose ages range from 14 to 21 years old.
The National Police is investigating the incident as a possible clash between rival gangs.
