ALLEN PARK, Mich. – A video of a brawl at an Allen Park bowl alley is going viral and has been viewed more than 100,000 times.
Thunderbowl Lanes has been around for decades and was the home of Bowling for Dollars and the Bowling Hall of Fame. Like most nights, it was packed over the weekend, but what happened has the management disgusted.
A group of about eight men fighting managed to wreak havoc in one of the club-like rooms off the main bowling alley.
In the brawl, a local rapper is in the midst of a melee where plenty of punches are throw, including at a young woman.
After taking the blow, she didn't want her name revealed, but she said she's doing fine.
"I was just trying to protect my brother," she said.
Her brother was in the middle of the pile. He has a black eye but is OK.
The woman said she has no idea who the man is who hit her.
Who brought on the blows? It was a fight over a woman who wasn't even there.
Thunderbowl charges cover to get in on the weekends, but management said after the fight, it's going to get tougher and start doing purse checks. They think people are smuggling booze in and causing problems.
Thunderbowl caters to families and leagues, and people who have been there for years were disgusted by the fight.
