Wild fight breaks out between Mariah Carey fans at her Christmas concert
Some Mariah Carey fans forgot to take in the holiday spirit when they attended her concert in Baltimore on Saturday night.
As the 55-year-old singer tried to spread Christmas cheer on her latest tour, some rowdy audience members may have ended up on the naughty list for their bad behavior during her show.
The nasty brawl, uploaded on TMZbroke out during the diva’s performance at the CFG Bank Arena.
Witnesses at the scene told the outlet that the physical altercation involved four or five people and quickly escalated after a drink was thrown.
The fight between the unruly concertgoers reportedly took place as the chorus filled time until the All I Want for Christmas Is You singer returned to the stage for her final song.
Several punches were thrown and one person was said to have ended up in a dangerous headlock.

Witnesses say security intervened and put an end to the chaos. No reason was given for what started the battle.
Security apparently decided to handle the incident themselves and the police were not called.
Carey appeared oblivious to the collision and ended the concert without incident.
