<\/a>MONTREAL \u2014 An unbrotherly brawl broke out at Pierre Elliot Trudeau Airport this afternoon as two religious groups punched, elbowed, and hair-pulled each other trying to get a minute of a refugee family\u2019s time.<\/p>\n

And the new Canadian family was startled and confused.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw one woman pull a man to the ground by his nostrils,\u201d the family\u2019s 31-year-old mother of two told the Gazette.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd two young men were beating another man on the head with their books,\u201d said the wide-eyed woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first we thought all the shoving and wrestling on the floor was some form of welcome we are not familiar with. We thought we should clap to show our thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut some people had bleeding noses and one woman was swinging a cane and hitting everyone in the legs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI did not read this about Canadians in any of the information.\u201d<\/p>\n

Montreal Police Service (Service de police de la Ville de Montr\u00e9al) officers told the Gazette that 7 people were treated at the scene for minor injuries. Paramedics said that one man had a handful of teeth knocked out by a flung copy of The Book of Mormon and a woman was treated for dizziness after being struck on the head by a briefcase full of Watchtower magazines.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt appears that a group of young Mormon missionaries sprinted up to the international arrivals gate and found that a group of Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses had already claimed the best spots for converting refugees\u2026sorry, the best greeting areas,\u201d said Staff Sergeant Sanju Singh.<\/p>\n

\u201cWords were exchanged followed by some shoving and jostling before all hell\u2026several fights broke out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The young refugee family reportedly shielded their children\u2019s ears from \u201crude swear words\u201d shouted by both groups before the father, mother, and two daughters were whisked away from the fighting by volunteers.<\/p>\n

Singh said charges are pending against four Mormons and two Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses, including one found in possession of marijuana.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never seen church people duke it out before,\u201d bystander Guy Nault told CTV.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d a bet on all those young Mormon guys but man they got their wholesome butts handed to them by those old Jehovahs. Hilarious.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat refugee family must be thinking, man, these Canadians are some kinda strange people.\u201d<\/p>\n
