Children’s birthdays are typically sunny affairs designed just to provide a nice memory for a child. But maybe birthdays aren’t the right call for every family as one Ohio gathering of 150 people for a three-year-old’s birthday ended in a 75-person brawl.

The princess birthday cake for a 3-year-old girl was one of the few things left untouched after a brawl that police said involved 75 people at a hall in suburban Cincinnati, Ohio.

Some 150 people were at a party at the Fraternal Order of Eagles Hall in Elmwood Place when the fight started early Tuesday, CNN affiliate WCPO reported. Seven police jurisdictions were called in to quell the fighting.

“When (first responding) officers arrived there, it was a pretty intense fight going on inside,” Elmwood Place Police Chief William Peskin said. “They actually had to wait until they got backup there in order to make entry because there were so many people throwing bottles and chairs, so they had to actually wait.”

Police said the hall was being rented out and the fraternal organization’s membership was not involved.

“We got caught up in a family feud,” Eagles member David Frost told CNN on Tuesday night, referring to the group that rented the Eagles’ hall for the party. “We’re embarrassed by this.”
