February 10, 2012

Lowell police say 14 people have been arrested following a brawl at a city nightclub in which chairs, tables and beer bottles were thrown.

Police say the brawl at Fortunato’s, also known as Club 44, at about 1:30 a.m. Friday required every Lowell officer on duty as well as officers from Dracut, Tyngsborough, UMass-Lowell and state police to quell.

There were as many as 200 people in the club at the time.

Three officers were injured when patrons threw beer bottles at them.

Most of those arrested were from the Merrimack Valley, but some were from as far away as Cambridge and Boston. They ranged in age from 18 to 33. They face charges from assault and battery on a police officer to disorderly conduct.
