Fight breaks out at Ohio shrine

Fights broke out during the annual Feast of the Assumption pilgrimage in Carey Sunday afternoon at the Our Lady of Consolation Shrine.

The religious event is supposed to bring thousands of people together to honor the Virgin Mary, which falls on every Aug. 15.

The annual event was interuppted after a group, known as the "Minister of Annoyance," told the numerous Catholics in attendance to not believe in God and disown their faith.

It sparked a fight between the group and a few teenagers. Carey police were called and arrested three teens and one adult.

One person was sent to an area hospital but refused treatment.
