WATCH: Shouting, shoving match breaks out at St. Louis meeting


A public meeting at St. Louis City Hall devolved into chaos Wednesday night as members of the crowd began shouting and shoving each other, according to KSDK-TV.


CNN reported that council members were discussing a possible police-oversight board in the wake of the fatal police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in nearby Ferguson, Missouri. The melee broke out after Jeff Roorda, the local police union's business manager, appeared to get into a confrontation with a woman, Cachet Currie, according to KMOV-TV.
