The fighting erupted early Monday morning and the video shows several men and women chasing and shoving each other, some of them slipping and falling on the rain-slicked pavement.

RCMP Sgt. Andre Pepin says police responded to a 911 call from the Robinson Court area around 2:40 a.m.

Pepin says the area is known as a trouble spot, where partiers often gather after the bars close at 2 a.m.

One man stands accused of assaulting another, but Pepin says the two men are not shown in the video, which was apparently shot before police arrived.

He says the video is considered evidence, but police won’t be laying more charges unless someone comes forward with a complaint.
