The Friars found themselves behind, 2-1, in the second half when Montalto connected on a header on a pass from Pearse O’Brien (West Hartford, Conn.).

Police responding to a report of a large disturbance in Providence, Rhode Island on Halloween night found hundreds of people in the middle of the street fighting.

Providence police said they responded around 12:11 a.m. on Saturday to the area of Easton Street and Radcliffe Avenue, where hundreds of people had gathered, according to WJAR. They said an overwhelming number of people were fighting.

The officers who responded initially called for backup before engaging with the crowd. Units from multiple districts responded and were eventually able to disperse the crowd, a process they said took about two hours.

At least one person was injured in the incident, suffering a laceration to the head, and was taken to Rhode Island Hospital.

Police said several of the calls they received about the incident had reported shots fired, but officers were unable to find any shell casings at the scene.
