SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) - Police say a Father's Day party in Springfield ended with six arrests and a police officer in the hospital.

The trouble started at about 7:45 p.m. Sunday when a woman showed up at a city apartment to pick up her child, who had been at the father's home.

Police say the man threatened the woman with a baseball bat and someone else threw a bottle at her.

When police arrived and tried to arrest the father and the bottle thrower, other people at the party resisted. One officer was bitten and hit over the head with a chair. He was taken to the hospital and is expected to be OK. Four other officers sustained minor injuries.

Three men and three women were arrested, mostly on assault and battery charges.
