MODESTO, Calif. (AP) - Video of a brawl among deal-hunting shoppers at a crowded Northern California mall has been getting nationwide attention.

The Modesto Bee reports that the video shows a fight among about six men at the Vintage Faire Mall in Modesto on the night of Thanksgiving. The men repeatedly kick and punch each other, with two eventually wrestling on the ground.

The video is being shared widely on social media and had attracted millions of views by Sunday.

Modesto Police Lt. Steve Stanfield says no one called police during the fight and that the department didn't get any reports of people being injured.

Mall spokeswoman Annie Amies says the fight was resolved quickly with the help of mall security.

The mall opened at 6 p.m. Thanksgiving day.
