The fight occurred at Phebe Night Club and Restaurant, located at 646 Newark Ave, where multiple people were involved in physical altercations, throwing beer bottles at police officers responding to the scene as the crowd dispersed, said Jersey City spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill.
No one was arrested at the scene since it was unclear who had thrown the bottles at the officers, but the owner of the establishment was issued a summons for maintaining a nuisance, Morrill said.
Police radio transmissions said as many as a dozen people were involved in the initial street fight, also stating the incident took place around 3 a.m.
