City sheriffs🍎 broke up an illegal Bronx fight club with enough guns, booze and drugs to make Brad Pitt and Edward Norton’s on screen antics look tame.
The unlicensed, “Rumble in the Bronx” club was operating in an industria꧋l building on Coster Street in Hunts Point, sheriffs say﷽.
Investigators raided the warehouse at 11:15 p.m. Saturday and found at least 203 people watching andꦑ participating in amateur fights.
Authorities seized two hand𓄧guns, along with drugs and booze, officials said.
Participants also failed to wear face🔯 masks or observe socia💜l distancing while drinking, smoking marijuana and fighting, authorities said.
“A bunch of nickel bags were thrown all over the place,” a source told the Post.
Sheriffs arrested 10 men from the Bronx, Bro🤪oklyn and Long Island for organizing the illegal gathering.
