A chaotic altercation erupted last weekend during a festive Christmas gathering on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts.

Caught on camera, the scuffle took place on Saturday along Federal Street amidst the 51st Nantucket Christmas Stroll, as confirmed by the Nantucket Police Department to Fox News Digital.

A large crowd had assembled in anticipation of Santa Claus’s arrival in this affluent community.

Video evidence reveals a group of men, spanning ages from their 20s to their 60s, involved in a heated exchange and pushing match right in the middle of the street.

The groups eventually split into two. In one group, two older men are seen shoving each other.

In another, a younger man is seen pushing another individual. Someone then jumps on the back of the assailant, who is thrown to the ground.

A full brawl then breaks out as several people are seen throwing haymakers at one another.

“It was kind of like the Jets and the Sharks from ‘West Side Story,’ only in Ralph Lauren and Burberry,” a witness told KISS108, referring to the two gangs in the musical. “It was 20-somethings versus, like, 60-somethings.”

“It was crazy,” she added. “It was mayhem.”

It was unclear what prompted the street fight.

Officers with the Nantucket Police Department responded to the scene at around 2 p.m., but no arrests have been made.
