At least one man was left bloody after a fight at Chuck E. Cheese on Fruitville Pike, Manheim Township, Saturday afternoon, witnesses said.

"The adults were holding their kids and it was terrible!" Karen Rineer said just after the fight.

Rineer and her daughter, Nicole, 15, were leaving a birthday party for Rineer's younger daughter when the brawl began.

"We were standing there and machines almost got knocked over," said Nicole. "The one waitress, she went in and said three guys were coming at her."

Rineer said she knew of at least two men involved.

"One is all bloody; he's in the bathroom," she said at the scene. "The other guy that got cut is upstairs with the cop."

A woman who answered the phone at the Fruitville Pike location and identified herself as a manager said, "Chuck E. Cheese is proud to offer a safe and fun family experience to many people in this area."

Company policy did not permit her to give her name or comment further, she said. Company representatives could not be reached Saturday.

Manheim Township Police have not released any information about the incident.

Police were called to the Fruitville Pike restaurant at least seven times last year for incidents ranging from fights to a possible attempted abduction, according to newspaper reports.

Earlier this month, six people were arrested after a fight at Chuck E. Cheese in Susquehanna Township, near Harrisburg, the Patriot-News reported.

The Wall Street Journal recently reported that similar scenes have been unfolding at the chain around the country.
