Movie Theater Brawl Sparked by Noisy Patrons: Police

Chicago Heights Police say a loud group of teens are to blame for last Friday's large-scale fight outside Marcus Theater.

Chicago Heights Police are on the lookout for the teens involved in a large-scale brawl outside of Marcus Movie Theater on Sept. 13.

The fight began late last Friday night when two girls got into a scuffle while exiting the theater. Sgt. Detective Joe Bruni says it was caused by tension built up during the movie because one group of teens was being too loud.

Things quickly escalated, turning into an all-out brawl, as seen in this video.
