[GMAN]

The crime of affray is defined under MGL c. 277, sec. 39 as fighting of two or more people in a public place to the terror of those present. This crime is arrestable in an officer's presence and there is a breach of the peace. This is a common law crime. The penalty for it can be found under MGL c. 279, sec. 5.
