This is the shocking moment a massive brawl broke out in a California pizza restaurant over a missing iPhone that turned out to have been in the lost and found the whole time.
Police were called to John's Incredible Pizza Company in Newark's NewPark Mall on Saturday night after violence erupted.
It broke out after a girl missing her phone had approached a group to see if they'd seen it but quickly descended into chaos, with video showing two large groups of people exchanging blows and screaming at each other.
Newark police officers had to call in officers from the Fremont Police Department for help because of the size of the brawl, NBC Bay Arena reports.

Drake Lynn, who works at the restaurant, told NBC that he saw two young women arguing before it escalated into a physical fight.
'Their boyfriends, or males who they were with, backed them up, and then they started throwing punches, and then their friends started throwing punches, and they started throwing punches at other parties that were there,' Lynn said.
'We would have definitely found the cellphone, if they would have just given us a little bit of time and let us do our jobs instead of throwing punches.'
Nicole Davis shared footage of the brawl on Facebook, writing: 'Took the kids to John's Incredible Pizza in Fremont tonight and it really went down in the buffet line smh.'
At least 20 people were involved in the fight, the woman who recorded footage of it said
At least 20 people were involved in the fight, she told SF Gate.
'It was a horrible experience,' she said.
'I made sure I protected my kids until they cleared the way so we can get out, but I just hated the fact they did this at a family establishment.'
She added: 'It makes me sick that my kids had to see that and all the kids that were scared crying.'
