Authorities say dozens of people were involved overall, including four people who suffered serious injuries and were taken to hospitals.

A brawl at a Pennsylvania wedding reception left several people injured and one man facing charges.

Authorities say the fight began shortly before 8 p.m. Saturday at a fire department banquet hall in Hellertown when one of the wedding guests, identified by police as Scott Brockel Jr., 25, dragged his fiancée outside following an argument.

Brockel's fiancée told NBC10 the groom then went outside to try and calm him down. About 30 more guests came outside and a heated argument ensued which then led to a brawl in the street.

During the brawl, Brockel allegedly assaulted several guests who were trying to help his fiancée.

Authorities say dozens of people were involved overall, including four people who suffered serious injuries and were taken to hospitals. Several other people had minor injuries.

Brockel was charged with aggravated assault and other counts.
