This is what happens when message board arguments get a little too real.

Tulsa, Okla., police arrived at the scene of a brawl Friday morning after they were notified that a young man was bloodied and stumbling in the parking lot of an apartment building. Cops would later learn that he had been bludgeoned with a broken beer bottle as a result of defending the honor of his favorite type of smartphone.

The two men involved in the fight, according to ABC’s Tulsa 8 news, were arguing over the supremacy of Android vs iPhone. Online commenters love to argue over this stuff in the comments sections of technology news sites; the difference here is that that these men were drunk and equipped with broken-off bottles, not trolling each other and firing off clever memes.

At least one of the men had a beer bottle smashed over his head, Tulsa 8 reports.



It’s yet to be determined whether one or both of men will be charged with crimes. Both were sent to a local hospital for the treatment of their injuries. It is also unclear whether the call to the police was made with an iPhone or Android device.
