A brawl broke out Monday in a jewelry marketplace in Manhattan.

It happened at the World’s Largest Jewelry Exchange in the Diamond District, the New York Post reports. Things got so wild that one of the scrappers’ pants fell down twice.

Several men were involved in the ruckus, according to reports. No injuries were reported among sellers or customers. Watch video of the brawl here.

The melee went on for several minutes before police and security managed to break it up, said one witness, who owns a business at the marketplace.

The New York Police Department told the Post that it did not have a complaint report in connection with the brawl.

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
