A spectator brawl broke out during last night’s U.S. Open match, leaving three people in handcuffs. The fight was so intense that player Novak Djokovic (the eventual winner of the set) abandoned his racket to watch the madness unfold. The video, shot by another spectator, doesn’t pick up any of the brawlers’ audio, but we did a little detective work. The Gloss editor Lilit Marcus‘ mom, who’s hard of hearing and an excellent lipreader, translated some of the dialogue for us — and it seems to be a battle over seating. Here’s what she made out:

“I’m in my seat.”
“Get the f*ck out of here!”
“For what?”
“Shut up.”
“He said go down there!”

And then there there’s some punching, which needs to translation. Man, who knew tennis fans could be so brutal?
