Fight breaks out at restaurant in West Reading

West Reading police had to disperse two disputes that started within a half-hour in the early morning of Feb. 4 at a restaurant in the 400 block of Penn Avenue. About 2:30 a.m., officers were called to when a crowd gathered around a brawl among four or five women. Officers from other departments, including Wyomissing, responded to the melee. Police broke up the fight and plan to file charges against people they can identify in security video of the fight.

Police prevented a second possible fight about 3:01 a.m. when several men began arguing loudly inside the restaurant. Before things got ugly, officers escorted the men out of the restaurant.
