RACINE, Wis., Sept. 23 (UPI) -- A pair of brothers from Wisconsin were arrested after a game of "Madden NFL" turned into a physical altercation, police said.

Michael Mayweather, 21, and Abrey Mayweather, 19, were playing a game of "Madden NFL" Monday in Abrey's Racine apartment when Michael became upset about losing and his brother's name calling, the Journal Times, Racine, Wis., reported.

Residents of the apartment building Abrey lived in called police when the brothers began fighting in the hallway.

The two reportedly ripped the apartment door off its hinges after Michael attempted to lock Abrey out of the apartment.

When police arrived, Abrey allegedly told them Michael choked him and had punched him in the face, the report said.

Both brothers were arrested at the scene and charged with domestic abuse.
