Police in Stoughton, Massachusetts, in the Boston area, said they were completely surrounded by an angry, bottle-throwing crowd amid the scene that erupted following a bar-side brawl at a baby shower on Sunday.

The 200-person scuffle at one point saw people throwing chairs at police, causing officers to deploy their Tasers, according to NBC affiliate WHDH-TV.

Once furor of the brawl finally settles, four people were in handcuffs: three men and one teenager, all on charges relating to assaulting police officers.

“It’s never our intention to have anything like this happen but things do happen,” a spokesperson for the bar’s owner told WHDH-TV.
