ST. PAUL, Minn. -- About 20 police officers were needed to break up a fight among spectators at a high school boys' basketball game in St. Paul.

The brawl swept up children and parents at the Section 3AA game between St. Paul's Johnson Senior High School and Minneapolis' Washburn Senior High School on Saturday afternoon. The game, which Washburn won 67-64, was at Arlington Senior High School.

No injuries were reported.

A police spokesman says an 18-year-old from St. Paul was arrested on suspicion of possessing a gun after it fell from his waistband when he struggled with officers. The gun had been stolen in Robbinsdale last August.

Officers also cited a 17-year-old boy for disorderly conduct.
