The Battle of the Five Points, fought on 16 February 1846, was a medieval-style battle fought between William Cutting's Natives and Priest Vallon's Dead Rabbits (with some allies) in Paradise Square in Manhattan's Five Points. The battle was nothing more than hacking and slashing until Priest Vallon was struck down, which led to the Five Points becoming Natives territory and the Dead Rabbits being outlawed.
