A video posted to social media shows an angry parent fighting with a referee at a youth basketball game in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The clip shows two parents having an apparent argument with the ref, when one of the parents moves his (presumed) wife aside and advanced towards the ref. The next segment of the video shows two fighting, with the parent trying to land punches as the ref takes him to the ground with a wrestling-style takedown.
As the two continue to struggle, others try to break them apart.
Ultimately the fight is broken up and others at the game can be seen doing their part to keep the two apart.
The parent, apparently still wanting some more, is pushed further back into the gym away from the ref.

Right here in Fort Wayne Indiana. Why is it ok to attack a official? When is it going to stop? This is why we don’t have officials! pic.twitter.com/NmF4cB7eiS
