A fight that erupted between two parents at a girls soccer game led Scotch Plains police to arrest both of them, according to police.

Tomas Frias, 54, of Fanwood and Mark Bishop, 51, of Cranford, were each charged with fourth-degree aggravated assault because they fought at a youth sporting event, police said.

According to police, they responded to Park Middle School around 4:30 p.m. Saturday after getting a report about the fight.

Police said that when they arrived,

the two parents were already separated, but that numerous witnesses told them that there "was a physical altercation between the parents" over a call the referee made. Both parents then admitted to the officers about getting into the altercation, police said, and they were arrested.

The men were taken to police headquarters, where they were processed and released.

The soccer match was stopped because numerous players were upset after seeing the fight, police said.
