Police used pepper spray “to gain control and disperse the crowd” after a fight allegedly broke out after Friday night’s high school football game between Ellet and Firestone in Akron.

Uniformed officers who were at the game providing security separated those involved, according to details released Monday morning by the Akron Police Department. Additional officers were called to the scene, but police say the crowd had already dispersed when they arrived. “Based on preliminary information, players and students exchanged insults and taunted one another in the moments leading up to the altercation,” police said.
