"I feel really bad. My son my son is in there and I feel I feel uncomfortable. There’s a lot of issues in the school and it’s really bad," one parent told NBC10 Boston Monday.
Brockton police were gathering information when asked for information by NBC10 Boston Monday afternoon.
Apparent video of the fight showed two people brawling in a hallway. It wasn't immediately clear from the footage what prompted the fight.
Other fights at the school have been filmed, including one last month of students fighting on a stairwell.
Teachers have described the regular student violence at Brockton High School as a nightmare, and some members of the Brockton School Committee have called for members of the National Guard to be brought in to help keep the peace at the school.
That unorthodox measure was opposed by Brockton's mayor and ultimately nixed by Gov. Maura Healey last week. But she did say the state would provide a grant to pay for a public safety audit to ensure resources are in the right places.
