The Georgetown men’s basketball team got into a brawl with a team from Beijing while on an exhibition trip in China.

The Washington Post’s Gene Wang first tweeted about the incident. Chairs were being thrown. Players and coaches had to dodge water bottles hurled from stands.

Thompson pulled his team off the court after fans threw bottles at them.

Wang, who attended the game, later wrote that after Hu Ke fouled Georgetown’s Jason Clark the two got into a shoving match and both benches emptied. Chinese police were on hand but did not try to break up the fights.
