The videos show at least four people engaging in fistfights while a large crowd watches outside the Comcast Center on the 1700 block of JFK Boulevard.

The fight occurred outside the CHOPS Restaurant and Bar located on the plaza outside the Comcast Center.

Eric Neefe, 23, of Chestnut Hill, took one of the videos — originally posted to his Instagram story — that began circulating on Twitter late Wednesday evening. He said it took place around 7 p.m., and that bouncers eventually broke up the fight. Neefe estimated about six people were involved.

A representative of CCD was not immediately available for comment.


Correction: An earlier version of this story reported the location of the fight was outside a restaurant on the 2000 block of Market Street. The story has been updated to show the incident took place outside CHOPS Restaurant and Bar at 1700 JFK Blvd.
