Greenwood (US), April 16: Four people were injured in a brawl at a Sikh temple in suburban Indianapolis, according to Police. Greenwood Assistant Police Chief Matthew Fillenwarth says police and medics responded Monday to a verbal and physical fight involving about 150 people at the Gurdwara Sikh temple in the city just south of Indianapolis.

He tells WISH-TV the altercation began as there was a change of leadership within the temple that he says happens every two years. Fillenwarth says it's believed that there was a worship service going on when the fight broke out.

Fillenwarth says four people suffered minor injuries and were taken to a hospital, where they will be questioned by police. Police are reviewing surveillance video from the temple and interviewing other participants in the fight.
