Fight breaks out in the middle of Tongan church fundraising in US

Footage has emerged of a brawl inside a Tongan church building in East Palo Alto in the United states.

Tongan church members in Palo Alto intervened and stopped the fight

The video clip, which has been widely shared on Facebook this week, shows a man wearing a formal red Tongan attire speaking into a microphone.

It appeared he was attempting to share his concerns with the Free Wesleyan Church of Tonga congregation.

But while he was speaking he was intermittently interrupted and stopped by another man wearing a formal white Tongan attire and was standing short distance away.

Some church members can be heard pleading with the duo to stop the quarrel as they were in a church building.

The man in white attire was seen walking towards the man in red before some members of the church intervened and attempted to stop them.

Kaniva News has not been able to confirm the authenticity of the video or who filmed it.

It is understood the church was conducting a misinale fundraising.

In 2019, a man appeared at an East Palo Alto court after trying to slit a fellow parishioner’s throat while she was eating in their Tongan East Palo Alto church’s dining hall.

In 2018, a footage of a brutal brawl outside a Tongan church in East Palo Alto was shared on social media.

Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.

Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans  wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
