Two police officers were treated and released from Pali Momi Medical Center today after breaking up a large fight in the 'Aiea area last night.

Two men, ages 24 and 25, were arrested for assault against a law enforcement officer after one reportedly punched a male officer in the jaw while the officer was trying to break up the fight. Honolulu Police said that at 10:45 p.m they were called to investigate a complaint of a fight involving about 20 people.

The second officer, a female, was also injured while trying to calm the situation and disperse the crowd.

The two suspects were treated and released from the Pali Momi Medical Center. All four were reportedly in good condition.
