A group of soldiers who threw caution to the winds to clash with civilians in a nightclub have had much more than they bargained for.

As many as thirteen U.S. soldiers got into a bar fight at a club in Italy with other men at the club.

They have consequently been arrested over the weekend for the bizarre occurence.

According to Italian newspaper Il Giornale di Vicenza, the fight started inside LIV, a disco in Bassano del Grappa, when a soldier was slashed on the arm by another man.

The fight then moved outside with some 40 people, including American soldiers and a group of Senegalese men, clashing with knives and broken bottles for weapons.

The massive brawl left four soldiers and two of the African men hospitalized for the injuries.

Meanwhile 13 soldiers were arrested by the Italian police, in addition to three of the Senegalese men.

Italian Carabinieri Lt. Col. Martino Salvo said it wasn't clear what provoked the initial attack. The Italian police are investigating the case.

All of the men arrested in the fight are from the 173rd Airborne Brigade, which is stationed at the joint Italian-American military base Caserma Ederle in Vincenza.

An Italian court this week said the soldiers had been freed pending further court proceedings, while the soldier who was slashed faces a criminal complaint.

Video recorded by Il Giornale shows the soldiers walking into Italian court flanked by military police soldiers in their initial court appearance.

They are set to return to court on Thursday for another hearing.

A base spokesman confirmed the incident involving soldiers and said any disciplinary action by the military would be taken after the Italian proceedings.
