Police in Norwich, England were called about a fight at the University of East Anglia. They arrived to find Star Wars and Doctor Who fans squared off, against each other.
A scifi convention was being put on by the Norwich Star Wars Club. Over a thousand people attended the event, including two actors from the Doctor Who series.
When Doctor Who fans spotted the actors, they mobbed them asking for autographs. The Star Wars organizers of the event came to the actors' rescue. Whovians took exception to this and words were exchanged. Reinforcements came to the side of the force, leading to the face off between the two fan bases.
After watching security cameras, the police determined, that as no one had been even touched, no charges would be pressed. They did warn the two groups to stay apart and keep it peaceful.
