The Contra Costa County fair is making changes on the last night of the fair, announcing a new chaperone policy. It comes after videos were posted on social media of fights breaking out at the fairgrounds Saturday night.
One of the videos posted on social media showed what appeared to be one person being attacked. NBC Bay Area has blurred the video because many of the people seen are minors.
“The kids started piling in and one thing led to another. There was one large brawl,” he said. “And that kind of turned into two or three large brawls. I think there must have been a dozen fights, at least large fights. We're talking multiple people, multiple kids, all middle school kids and it got way out of hand. And we wanted to shut it down way earlier because there was no controlling it. It was just a madhouse in there.”
