BINGHAMTON -- Authorities say two assistant principals and two police officers are recovering from minor injuries after a food fight at an upstate New York high school escalated into a brawl among students.

Police in Binghamton say nine Binghamton High School students - six boys and three girls - were arrested for their involvement in the late-morning melee on Thursday, the last full day of classes.

Officials say students involved in the food fight were taken to a school courtyard, where witnesses say as many as 100 were gathered when fighting broke out. Police say the most seriously injured adult was an assistant principal hit in the face with a cell phone by a female student.

Officers from several law enforcement agencies had to be called in to restore order at the school.
