South Jersey Men Facing Charges After Alleged Fight
By Jan Carabeo
SALISBURY, Md., (CBS) -- Authorities say two South Jersey men are facing charges after an alleged fight at a youth softball tournament on the eastern shore of Maryland.
This was the scene that unfolded Wednesday night just outside of the opening ceremony for a youth softball tournament in Salisbury, Maryland.
It was captured by an eyewitness and posted to social media.
This video has now gone viral garnering close to 150,000 views.
The Wicomico County Sheriff's office has identified the men as Michael Barbella of Ventnor, N.J. and Michael John Duffy of Mays Landing, N.J.
Officials say Barbella had sent text messages earlier in the day, challenging Duffy to a fight.
The argument, they say, stemmed from a previous dispute.
Investigators say Barbella traveled to Salisbury to confront Duffy and other parents from the softball team when the fight broke out.
Both men were arrested and charged with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct.
Investigators haven't said what the fight was about.
