Police had to be called to break up a massive all-in brawl at a US school after fighting broke out between students in the cafeteria.
Officials for Dekaney High School in Harris County, in Houston, Texas, said the fight started between four students on Friday.
But mobile phone footage shot by a witness shows at least 20 students punching and kicking each other and jumping on tables.
It is not the first time mass-fighting at Derkaney has made news, with several small-scale riots videoed and posted on the internet last year.
Students who witnessed the chaos on Friday said it was like a riot.
"All these people came and just started hitting everybody — after a while I got hit and everybody just started fighting, so I hit back," student Maya Rodriguez told local TV news station KHOU11.
Parents and students say they are fed up with the school and no longer feel it is safe.
"We feel like this is getting out of control, way out of control," one mother said who did not want to be identified.
The mother said her son was not involved in the fight on Friday because he had been attacked in the school's hallway on Thursday and she decided to keep him at home.
