Greenwood, Indiana: Police say a brawl at a Sikh temple in suburban Indianapolis has left four people with minor injuries.
Greenwood Assistant Police Chief Matthew Fillenwarth says police and medics responded on Sunday to a verbal and physical fight involving about 150 people at the Gurdwara temple in the city just south of Indianapolis.
