My cat bit me and drew blood!!

Hello fellow mylotters. My cats began fighting yesterday morning; I was in the yard and heard them carrying on. When I came in, I saw them all in a circle growling at each other. The last and only time I had ever seen them do that is when I had a dog, and the dog had scared one of them and they all got in a circle and growled at the dog. I took the dog out of the room and all was well. Not this time. For some reason, they are still fighting. They were carrying on all day long and I got tired of it. In the morning I chased them with water. Usually that works, but yesterday it did not. Last night they were going at it again in the spare room and were loud, so I went in the dark room and began yelling at them to stop, figuring maybe if I am yelling they will finally listen. That's when the cat attacked, the female who is the mother of the other 4. She got me on both legs, and when I finally screamed and ran to a chair to jump on, one of the other cats she was fighting with jumped on her and she finally quit and ran downstairs when I grabbed the squirt bottle. I fought with her for an hour or so to get outside, I was going to put her in the street. Got her on the porch and she was carrying on with her yelling and I grabbed a broom and chased her with it. She is afraid of a broom for some reason, so I thought if I had the broom she would go outside. Finally she is soaking wet and does go out the door. I did get her back in on the porch and left her there all night with water and litter. This morning, the other cats were at it so one is in a room to himself. They have never fought like this! I've had them for 4 years, and helped Baby birth her boys and never, ever have they fought like this. What can I do?
