Video: Fight at Boston Pops Concert

Concert-goers, and even Boston Pops conductor
Keith Lockhart, were caught off-guard when a fight broke out on
opening night at usually sedate Symphony Hall.
Television video of the fight Wednesday night showed two men
struggling in the balcony - one with his shirt pulled off - as
several people stood around them.

Lockhart briefly halted the performance, which featured
singer-songwriter Ben Folds, while the men were escorted out.

Witnesses said they heard a scream from the balcony, and the
sound of chairs falling, then a second scream as the fight
escalated.

"The first time there was a scream, Keith looked up that way
but he kept going," audience member June MacIndoe told Boston's
WHDH-TV. "Then about a minute and a half later...there was a big
scream and you could hear chairs falling over and you could see
them up there, fists going."
At that point, Lockhart stopped the performance for a couple of
minues, she said. "He just stood there, you know, quiet."

Boston police spokesman David Estrada said police officers on
security detail at the hall escorted the men off the property, and
no charges were filed. No injuries were reported, he said.

A Boston Symphony spokeswoman did not immediately return a call
for comment.
