WEDDING BRAWL: One Dead After Brides Battle


A drunken brawl erupted between two wedding parties at a Philadelphia hotel early Sunday morning, leaving one man dead of a heart attack and other guest tased by police and arrested for assaulting a police officer.

It all started at the Sheraton Society Hill Hotel at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday when the two wedding parties mixed it up. Police say there were from 75 to 100 people involved in the drunken brawl.

Wedding guest Matthew Sofka, 26, from Westfield, New Jersey, was tased by police and arrested on multiple charges, including assault on a police officer, reckless endangerment and inciting a riot.

Vincent Sannuti, the 57-year-old uncle of one of the brides, had a heart attack and was pronounced dead a nearby hospital. The deceased man, who was also celebrating his birthday, was not involved in the fracas, police said.
