Police wary of retaliation in S. Philly biker brawl

Police are keeping a close eye on South Philadelphia after a bar brawl sent members of a motorcycle gang to the hospital on Thursday.
A fight broke out inside Quattro Bar and Grille, on 13th Street near Shunk, at 11:24 p.m. Though the nature of the dispute is unclear, pool cues were shattered and plenty of blood was spilled, investigators said.
Four people were taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for treatment and a fifth was taken to Methodist Hospital, police said. All were treated and released.
Among the injured were members of the Road Runners motorcycle gang and at least one alleged member of the 10th and Oregon gang, said a law-enforcement source familiar with local gang activity.
The bar — formerly known as Cholly Bear's Lounge — was shut down by the Department of Licenses and Inspection yesterday for a fire-code violation, said Lt. Frank Vanore, a police spokesman. Investigators seized video surveillance footage that they hoped would show how the brawl started. Vanore said
Police "don't want to see any sort of retaliatory violence," Vanore said.
