Police learned that a small group of people started to fight just west of that intersection. The fight broke up briefly, and the individuals continued to walk toward the intersection of Manchester St and Chestnut St. There, more people joined the group, and the fighting resumed. During the altercation, someone pulled out a knife and injured two people. Neither injury was life-threatening.
