Huge brawl at In-N-Out Burger caught on video; customers are seen running for cover: 'Did they order it animal style?'



A huge brawl at an Arizona In-N-Out Burger was caught on video early last week, and customers are seen running for cover in the clip.

Tempe police told KSAZ-TV they were called to the fast-food restaurant near Rural Road and Playa del Norte Drive just after 7 p.m. Monday.

'Bunch of future doctors and lawyers.'

The station said people were seen screaming and running for the door as the melee commenced.

In the clip, numerous individuals are seen trading punches, wrestling, and tackling each other all over the restaurant, KSAZ said.

A person who uploaded video of the fight told the station customers were "camping out" inside the restaurant during an active monsoon storm.

But by the time police arrived at the scene, all those involved in the brawl had already taken off, KSAZ said, adding that some fled on foot while others departed in cars.

The station said what sparked the fight is unknown, and no names have been released in connection with the case.

Police did tell KSAZ that officers were able to speak with witnesses and restaurant staff, and a follow-up investigation is under way.

Commenters who posted reactions under the KSAZ video report showing the brawl were disgusted by it:

  • "Bunch of future doctors and lawyers," one commenter wrote.
  • "Did they order it animal style?" another commenter quipped, referencing an In-N-Out Burger serving option.
  • "Stay in school, kids," another commenter suggested. "This is what happens when you drop out and become a loser. Becoming violent and then running away speaks volumes about your level of education."
  • "In my day we took it outside," another commenter recalled. "Not in front of women and children."

Video: Wild brawl erupts at kindergarten graduation ceremony at Queen of Apostles School — allegedly over seating



A wild brawl recently erupted at a kindergarten graduation ceremony at Queen of Apostles School in Toledo, Ohio — and it was allegedly over seating.

WTVG-TV reported that new video of last Thursday's dust-up is raising more questions after the arrest of one parent who told the station she's being treated unfairly.

'Once I was taken to the ground, it was probably four or five other guys that were on top of me, trampling me, punching me, kicking me in the head.'

Jessica Anderson was charged with felonious assault, but she told WTVG she wasn't the aggressor and wants police to review all videos of the fight — and wants charges against her dropped.

Witnesses told the station that attendees got angry over seating. Cellphone video shows multiple punches thrown, and WTVG reported that an individual appearing to be Anderson grabbed a woman by the hair.

But Anderson emphasized to the station that the clip doesn't tell the full story.

"I removed her from the pile, and her arm fell into a chair," Anderson recounted to WTVG. "Then we were surrounded by people, and she was hitting me. I didn't know what was happening, so I started swinging back."

She also told the station, "I wasn't the aggressor; it wasn't my face that should have been blasted everywhere. I take accountability that I was involved. A lot of people were involved, but me being the only person charged was not fair. It wasn't."

Anderson is charged with felonious assault, WTVG reported, adding that a judge put her on house arrest.

WTVG also said cellphone video it obtained appears to show parent Craig Mays involved in the fight over seating.

Anderson told the station that after a disagreement over the chairs, Mays rushed toward one of her family members while she called 911.

“Craig Mays snatched Katie, and then the nephews got involved," Anderson told WTVG. "He charged over there."

The station said it spoke with Mays, and he denies that's how things went down.

"Her whole family in the first two rows just stand up, five guys, five girls. They just all stand up. As I’m arguing with Jessica, I literally don’t remember anything. I just know I was sucker punched. Once I was taken to the ground, it was probably four or five other guys that were on top of me, trampling me, punching me, kicking me in the head," Mays told WTVG.

Cellphone video allegedly recorded just after the initial brawl appears to show Mays climbing back to his feet, walking away, taking off his shirt, and putting up his fists while confronting and squaring up with a man dressed in a black sweatshirt, the station said.

Toledo police continue to investigate the fight, WTVG said, adding that the school has yet to announce a rescheduled graduation ceremony date.

A spokesperson for Central City Ministries, which operates the school, told WTVG-TV in an earlier story that no students were in the room during the brawl.

Gabriel Jakubisin, head of school for Central City Ministries, told the station that he's proud of how staff members handled the situation. Staff members called 911 and went into lockdown, WTVG reported.

FBI posts images of suspects in DC Chipotle teen takeover brawl; announces reward



The FBI's Washington Field Office on Tuesday posted images of suspects in connection with the D.C. Chipotle teen takeover brawl over the weekend and announced a reward.

The agency said that it — along with the Washington Metropolitan Police Department — is seeking information that leads to the identification, arrest, and conviction of unknown individuals who were involved in Saturday's assault at a Chipotle restaurant in the Navy Yard.

'It was a takeover of a restaurant by individuals who felt like they could get away with it. Well, they're not going to get away with it.'

A reward of up to $5,000 is available, the FBI said.

Around 8:41 p.m., a group of unknown individuals entered the Chipotle located at 1255 First St. SE, the agency said. A fight immediately broke out between that group and another group already in the restaurant, the FBI said, adding that both groups fled prior to the arrival of police. Cellphone video shows brawlers using restaurant chairs as weapons.

In addition to the FBI's $5,000 reward, the agency said the Metropolitan Police Department "currently offers a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to the arrest and indictment of anyone who is responsible for a crime committed in the district."

The FBI said those with information concerning these individuals or this incident can contact the FBI Washington Field Office at 202-278-2000 or the Metropolitan Police Department at 202-727-9099. Anonymous tips can be submitted via tips.fbi.gov, the agency said.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro on Tuesday announced the FBI's involvement in the investigation to find the culprits.

RELATED: Pirro: FBI now involved in probe to find culprits behind teen takeover brawl at DC Chipotle

"This kind of thing is destroying the quality of life in the District," Pirro said at a news conference Monday, WJLA-TV reported. "Residents are finding it extremely difficult to enjoy public parks and spaces, as well as waterfront areas. The residents are starting to feel like these out-of-control teens are taking away their happiness and their quiet enjoyment."

What's more, Saturday night's teen takeover brawl occurred just one day after Pirro promised a crackdown on juvenile crime in the District of Columbia by holding parents responsible.

"These teens — they need to find something productive to do," Pirro said, according to WJLA. "Parents, that's your job."

The station said she added: "It was not just violence occurring between individuals. It was simply destruction of property. It was a takeover of a restaurant by individuals who felt like they could get away with it. Well, they're not going to get away with it."

Pirro said she intends to "aggressively" prosecute the teens involved as well as their parents, WJLA noted.

"If you know where your teen is and what they are doing and allow them to continue their conduct and continue to allow them to flourish, we’re going to prosecute you," Pirro stated, the station reported.

Violent teen takeovers have become a nationwide issue.

Blaze News recently reported about several such incidents in Florida, with one occurring in Tampa earlier this month involving individuals as young as 12 years of age. In April, fights erupted and sheriff's deputies were hurt after more than 1,000 teenagers descended upon ICON Park in Orlando as part of a planned "takeover."

Tampa Police said that with summer approaching, the growing "takeover" trend has become a concern for communities across the country.

'Teen chaos in DC': Brawl with chairs used as weapons erupts in Chipotle after Pirro's warning to parents of thugs



A massive brawl broke out in a Washington, D.C., Chipotle restaurant Saturday night — with chairs being thrown and used as weapons — just one day after U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro announced she would prosecute parents of youths taking part in "teen takeovers," WJLA-TV reported.

The Metropolitan Police Department said officers were called around 8:41 p.m. to the Chipotle in the 1200 block of First Street SE in the Navy Yard over reports of a large fight inside the restaurant, the station said.

'It's really puzzling to me because there's nothing here for adolescents or teenagers. I understand DC is taking measures to involve youth in different programs, but I really think people's parents need to get more involved and understanding where their children are.'

Officers were already deployed nearby, monitoring a large group, and arrived within one minute of the call, WJLA said.

But police told the station that by the time officers arrived on scene, those involved in the brawl had already fled.

The station's video report described the incident as "teen chaos in D.C."

Ken Ledet, a Navy Yard resident, told WJLA he's witnessed similar danger in recent months.

"It's not shocking anymore, since this has become routine on Saturdays and Friday nights, but it's disappointing to know this is still happening," Ledet told the station. "I actually come to this Chipotle at least three or four times a week, so thankfully I didn't come here last night."

WJLA said its cameras captured the moment police officers chased down and arrested an individual just across the street, in the community's large field area.

RELATED: Parents of thugs in 'teen takeovers' may face fines — and even jail time, says Jeanine Pirro

Saturday night's incident took place just one day after Pirro announced she would prosecute parents of youths taking part "teen takeovers," the station said.

"Starting today, my office will aggressively prosecute parents under D.C.'s curfew law," Pirro said Friday, according to WJLA.

"It involves contributing to the delinquency of a minor. This statute makes it unlawful for an adult to enable, facilitate, or permit a minor to engage in delinquent acts," the station added.

More from the station:

In the past, MPD has established juvenile curfew zones in response to and to prevent incidents like what unfolded Saturday. Under D.C. law, there is already a citywide curfew for anyone under 18 from 11 p.m. until 6 a.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 12:01 a.m. until 6 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.

However, under emergency laws and executive orders, the MPD chief has recently had the power to establish juvenile curfew zones in certain areas, starting at 8 p.m., that ban kids from gathering in groups of nine or more for up to three days.

Both the temporary emergency law and the most recent mayoral order expired, meaning MPD could not establish these earlier curfew zones this weekend.

The D.C. Council approved a law creating a permanent curfew, but it will not go into effect until later in the summer, the station said.

Residents like Ledet told WJLA that accountability is needed.

"It's really puzzling to me because there's nothing here for adolescents or teenagers. I understand D.C. is taking measures to involve youth in different programs, but I really think people's parents need to get more involved and understanding where their children are," Ledet noted to the station.

A police report sent to WJLA Monday morning states two groups of juveniles got into an argument inside the restaurant before things escalated into a physical fight.

The police report states that "there was no report of injuries or damage," the station said.

Those with information are asked to call police at 202-727-9099 or text tips to 50411, WJLA added.

Indeed, teen takeovers have become a nationwide concern.

Blaze News recently reported about several such incidents in Florida, with one occurring in Tampa earlier this month involving individuals as young as 12 years of age. In April, fights erupted and sheriff's deputies were hurt after more than 1,000 teenagers descended upon ICON Park in Orlando as part of a planned "takeover."

Girl says she fought 'old,' 'racist' man with MAGA hat at ICE protest — and excuses fellow teen brawlers



A 16-year-old girl said in a video interview that that she fought the adult male with a MAGA hat at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest in Texas earlier this week, calling him "old" and "racist" while excusing fellow teen brawlers.

“I didn't think it was going to escalate this far," Alissa, a student at Moe & Gene Johnson High School in Buda, told KEYE-TV. "I didn't think that he was going to be capable to even think to hit a minor. I didn't think he was actually going to get out of his vehicle. So in the moment I reacted."

'I'm not gonna let, like, [an] old man, a racist man, like, say something to a minor.'

Alissa told the station she saw another female juvenile kick the man's truck amid a verbal argument between them Monday afternoon.

“She kicks the truck. She just kicks the truck one time, and that's it," Alissa added to KEYE. "That's the moment that he got mad. He reached for his door. He decides to get off the vehicle and starts to come straight to the girl and starts to attack her.”

She also told the station that "he should have known better. He's an adult. He could have just easily let the girl hit the car, park to the side, call the police, and call it a day. He decided to get out of the car and do what he did."

Alissa added to KEYE that cellphone video another student recorded shows the moment she intervened.

“He kind of got on top of her and started to hit the girl. In that moment, I reacted. I went and I pulled the guy off, and that's when I hit him,” she recalled to the station. “Everybody comes and attacks him, and it escalates from there."

Alissa in her interview with KEYE excused the actions of her fellow teens.

"It's teenagers," she argued to the station. "How was he not going to expect teenagers to act like teenagers? Like, if they have the moment to attack a guy, and they're doing a protest ... like, obviously those kids are gonna take the time out of their day to come defend the girls."

Alissa added to KEYE, "Like, it's a girl. Like, he should have known better, like, not to put his hands on girls, first of all, and he should have known that it's a minor; he should have known that these are kids doing a protest."

She also told the station, "I'm not gonna let, like, [an] old man, a racist man, like, say something to a minor." The reporter interviewing Alissa didn't ask her to clarify why she called the man a racist.

Alissa's father told KEYE he was furious when Alissa told him the man grabbed her by her hair.

“I was really, really mad,” Jose Loredo told the station. “We are grown-ups, you know; we're not little kids. And him hitting girls, females, you're not supposed to do that. He could have just left. No reason to pull over and get off his car.”

Buda Police said 45-year-old Chad Michael Watts of Kyle was charged Tuesday with two counts of assault causing bodily injury, which are Class A misdemeanors.

Hays County Jail records indicate Watts was booked into jail Tuesday and released Wednesday on two surety bonds of $2,500 each. Police told KEYE in a separate story that Watts has no previous record of violent offenses.

While police determined that Watts was the primary aggressor, Officer Matt Schima with the Buda Police Department told KEYE in a video interview that police also are looking into possible charges against the juveniles involved in the brawl and that "we want to be thorough in this investigation to make sure that everybody is held accountable that needs to be held accountable."

KEYE claimed that it had attempted to reach out to Watts for comment but those attempts were unsuccessful.

Cops drop new detail about what led to all-out brawl between adult male with MAGA hat, apparent HS students at ICE protest



Police have revealed a new detail about what led to a wild brawl between an adult male with a MAGA hat and apparent high school students at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest in Texas earlier this week.

Buda Police said 45-year-old Chad Michael Watts of Kyle was charged Tuesday with two counts of assault causing bodily injury, which are Class A misdemeanors.

'We want to be thorough in this investigation to make sure that everybody is held accountable that needs to be held accountable.'

Police previously said students from Moe and Gene Johnson High School in Buda were conducting a “walkout” protest Monday — then officers were dispatched for a fight in progress just before 3 p.m. Buda is about 20 minutes southwest of Austin.

Arriving officers were notified that a juvenile female on the sidewalk and an adult male in a vehicle were engaged in a verbal argument, police said, adding that the argument escalated into a physical altercation involving multiple people.

Police said further investigation determined that Watts was the primary aggressor in the physical altercation.

However Officer Matt Schima with the Buda Police Department told KEYE-TV that "I think mistakes were made on both sides."

Schima added to the station that "it was clearly a difference of opinion on the immigration issue. And that's what started the verbal altercation between the two primary parties. And then the juvenile ended up kicking the adult's truck. He got out of the truck and then that's when that physical altercation started."

Schima told KEYE in a video interview that police also are looking into possible charges against the juveniles involved in the brawl and that "we want to be thorough in this investigation to make sure that everybody is held accountable that needs to be held accountable."

Hays County Jail records indicate Watts was booked into jail Tuesday and released Wednesday on two surety bonds of $2,500 each. Police told KEYE that Watts has no previous record of violent offenses.

While apparently no videos have surfaced yet showing what went down before things got physical between the adult male in the vehicle and the juvenile female arguing with him, one clip recorded from a distance shows what appears to be the adult male on the street swinging at a female as they move from the street to the sidewalk and to the grass.

A second clip recorded very close to the fight shows what appears to be the adult male holding a MAGA hat while swinging at a female and pushing her backward as she fights back; she momentarily grabs the MAGA hat before she falls to the grass.

A third clip shows the bulk of the brawl, and the adult male is outnumbered. At least a dozen apparent high schoolers punch and kick him, knock him to the ground, and even put him in a headlock until he's able to get up and retreat to his vehicle. Those fighting and watching the brawl are heard yelling, "What the f**k?" and "Get him!" and "F**k ICE! You're a bitch!" and "F**kin' kill yourself!"

Once the adult male is back in his vehicle, one individual from the crowd is heard yelling at him, "Hey, you want another ass-beating, come on out!" The adult male eventually puts the MAGA hat on his head.

45-year-old 'primary aggressor' charged after wild brawl caught on video involving apparent HS students at ICE protest



A 45-year-old male has been arrested and charged in connection with a wild brawl involving apparent high school students at a protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Texas — much of which was caught on video.

Buda Police said Chad Michael Watts of Kyle was charged Tuesday with two counts of assault causing bodily injury.

'We see that all the time in law enforcement — that videos start at the 10-second mark. What happened in the first 10 seconds?'

Police previously said students from Moe and Gene Johnson High School in Buda were conducting a “walkout” protest Monday — then officers were dispatched for a fight in progress just before 3 p.m. Buda is about 20 minutes southwest of Austin.

Arriving officers were notified that a juvenile female on the sidewalk and an adult male in a vehicle were engaged in a verbal argument, police said, adding that the argument escalated into a physical altercation involving multiple people.

The adult male departed the scene prior to officers arriving, but he was soon located and interviewed, police said. Since officers didn't witness the brawl, the adult male and the juvenile female were identified and released; no arrests were made at the time, police said.

RELATED: Video: All-out brawl erupts between adult male with MAGA hat and more than a dozen apparent HS students at ICE protest

However police said further investigation determined that Watts was the primary aggressor in the physical altercation, and probable cause was established for two offenses of assault causing bodily injury, a Class A misdemeanor.

Hays County Jail records as of Wednesday morning indicate Watts has no bond and no release date.

Police said the investigation is ongoing to determine if additional charges will be filed.

"We’re trying to get to the original videos and have those submitted by those people that took the videos so we can have a solid case and have that chain of custody for our evidence,” Matt Schima, public information officer with the Buda Police Department, told KXAN-TV.

Schima added to the station that "we see that all the time in law enforcement — that videos start at the 10-second mark. What happened in the first 10 seconds? That’s very important as to what happened for the rest of the video. So I think a lot of the public is really taking the last part of the situation, and they’re making their judgments. So what we have to do to have a solid investigation is what initiated all of this.”

As police noted, the adult male was in a vehicle when he verbally argued with the juvenile female — and then things got physical. Indeed one clip recorded from a distance shows what appears to be the adult male on the street swinging at a female as they move from the street to the sidewalk and to the grass.

A second clip recorded very close to the fight shows what appears to be the adult male holding a MAGA hat while swinging at a female and pushing her backward as she fights back; she momentarily grabs the MAGA hat before she falls to the grass.

A third clip shows the bulk of the brawl, and the adult male is outnumbered. At least a dozen apparent high school students punch and kick him, knock him to the ground, and even put him in a headlock until he's able to get up and retreat to his vehicle. Those fighting and watching the brawl are heard yelling, "What the f**k?" and "Get him!" and "F**k ICE! You're a bitch!" and "F**kin' kill yourself!"

Once the adult male is back in his vehicle, one individual from the crowd is heard yelling at him, "Hey, you want another ass-beating, come on out!" The adult male eventually puts the MAGA hat on his head.

It's still unclear why the adult male got out of his vehicle in the first place.

When Blaze News asked police if the adult male indicated why he left his vehicle and physically fought the juvenile female, police replied that it's still under investigation.

If the public has original evidence, witness statements, or relevant information they would like to provide, they can contact Hays County Dispatch at 512-393-7896 or do so anonymously through Hays County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-324-TIPS (8477), www.callcrimestoppers.com, or through the “P3 Tips” phone application, police said.

Video: All-out brawl erupts between adult male with MAGA hat and more than a dozen apparent HS students at ICE protest



Cellphone videos caught the moment when an all-out brawl erupted between an adult male with a MAGA hat and over a dozen apparent high school students at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest Monday afternoon in Texas.

The Buda Police Department said a Hays County Sheriff’s Office school resource officer at Moe and Gene Johnson High School in Buda indicated that students were conducting a “walkout” protest on RM967. Buda is about 20 minutes southwest of Austin.

'Hey, you want another a**-beating, come on out!'

Law enforcement personnel responded to the area to provide safety and security for pedestrians and motorists, police said.

But police added that Buda officers were dispatched to the intersection of RM967 and FM1626 for a fight in progress just before 3 p.m.

Arriving officers were notified that a female juvenile on the sidewalk and an adult male in a vehicle were engaged in a verbal argument, police said, adding that the argument escalated into a physical altercation involving multiple people.

You can view a clip of the brawl in KXAN-TV's video report about the altercation; it shows what appears to be at least a dozen apparent high school students punching and kicking the adult male, knocking him to the ground, and even putting him in a headlock until he's able to get up and retreat to his vehicle. There is no audio.

Both primary parties involved were identified, the situation remains under investigation, and no arrests have been made at this time, police said.

A Hays Consolidated Independent School District spokesperson told KXAN-TV that the district is aware of the video of the fight but said police are handling the investigation since the incident happened off campus.

Buda Police on Tuesday told Blaze News they expect to make an arrest or arrests but have no timeline for when that will happen. Blaze News asked police if the adult male involved in the fight is a teacher — due to numerous social media posts indicating he is — but police replied, "Not that we’re aware of."

One crucial element police confirmed to Blaze News is that the adult male involved in the fight did indeed have a red MAGA hat on his person during the altercation.

There are a handful of videos of the fight apart from the clip included in KXAN's video report — and they are linked in comments under the police department's Facebook post about the brawl.

As police noted, the adult male was in a vehicle when he verbally argued with the juvenile female — and then things got physical. Indeed one clip recorded from a distance shows what appears to be the adult male on the street swinging at a female as they move from the street to the sidewalk and to the grass.

A second clip recorded very close to the fight shows what appears to be the adult male holding a MAGA hat while swinging at a female and pushing her backward as she fights back; she momentarily grabs the MAGA hat before she falls to the grass.

A third clip includes what the KXAN video shows — except with audio. Those fighting and watching the brawl are heard yelling, "What the f**k?" and "Get him!" and "F**k ICE! You're a bitch!" and "F**kin' kill yourself!"

Once the adult male is back in his vehicle — and his MAGA hat is back in his possession — one individual from the crowd is heard yelling at him, "Hey, you want another ass-beating, come on out!" The adult male eventually puts the MAGA hat on his head.

What isn't clear is why the adult male got out of his vehicle in the first place.

When Blaze News asked police if the adult male indicated why he left his vehicle and physically fought the juvenile female, police replied that it's still under investigation.

Pair of punks caught on video chucking chair at cops — hitting one in back of head — during Domino's Pizza brawl: Police



Police in Glassboro, New Jersey, said two males were caught on video throwing a chair at officers — hitting one in the back of the head — during an early Saturday morning brawl inside a Domino's Pizza store.

Police said after officers responded to the large fight around 2:44 a.m. and were making arrests, two black males — one wearing a gray jacket and the other a light blue sweatshirt — "picked up a chair and threw it at our officers, striking one of them in the back of the head. Not only was this intentional, they found it extremely hysterical while they ran from the scene."

'Out of nowhere I looked to my left, [and] there's a chair just flying right down this hallway.'

WTXF-TV reported that the officer who was hit was treated at the scene and is expected to recover.

While police said in their original Facebook post that "we need your help in identifying them," a Monday afternoon update indicates that suspects have been identified.

However, surveillance video showing the brawl — including the moment the chair was thrown — is no longer on the police department's Facebook post. Also no longer visible on the post are the four still images of the two suspects.

Police did indicate in their 1:30 p.m. Monday update that a "news release will be made available when feasible."

RELATED: Girl, 15, accused of throwing chair that clobbered teacher in head, knocked her to floor, and sent her to hospital is arrested, charged with felonious assault

A Domino's employee interviewed at the scene told WTXF that "there was so much chaos up there ... just a bunch of people, like, throwing punches at each other, even at my co-workers. ... I saw ... one girl turn around and just deck another girl in the face. Out of nowhere I looked to my left, [and] there's a chair just flying right down this hallway."

Glassboro is about 40 minutes south of Philadelphia. The station added that the Domino's Pizza store is located near Rowan University, which also is in Glassboro.

As you might expect, a number of reactions to the incident weren't exactly sympathetic to the brawlers and chair throwers. To wit:

  • "These MFs need an old-school ass whooping," one commenter wrote. "Maybe I am better off out the game now. S**t is ridiculous nowadays."
  • "Time to get rid of no bail and minimum prison sentences," another user said, adding that it's the "only way you're gonna cut it out — or at least cut it down."
  • "They should all be arrested and charged!!" another commenter declared. "The ones standing around watching and recording are no better than the others."
  • "This is disgusting," another user opined. "Absolute animals that need to be locked up."

7 females — 5 teens, 2 adults — face charges after huge brawl outside state fair caught on video



Seven females — five of them teenagers, two of them adults — are facing charges in the wake of a brawl caught on video outside the Maryland State Fair, Baltimore County police told WJZ-TV.

Charged in connection with the assault and public disturbance were four 14-year-olds, a 15-year-old, and two adults — Melika Gamble-Thomas, 33, and Tiera Gamble, 37 — police told the station.

'These children come out in groups, and they try to cause havoc or whatever. It's a shame.'

Both Gamble-Thomas and Gamble were taken into custody on open warrants, WBFF-TV reported.

Police launched an investigation after video of the brawl began circulating on social media in late August, WJZ reported.

The video shows one teen girl being dragged by her hair. Police told WJZ the brawl involved at least a dozen other teens.

Officers at the fair said several arrests were made, but some suspects fled the scene in a car, WJZ said, adding that some officers suffered minor injuries while responding to the brawl.

The group of teens may have been denied entry to the fair over its unaccompanied minor policy, Maryland State Fair General Manager Andy Cashman told WJZ.

The fair's unaccompanied minor policy, instituted in 2024, stipulates that minors can't enter the fair without an adult, WJZ said, adding that one adult can chaperone up to six minors.

"It's been a problem," Cashman told WJZ. "These children come out in groups, and they try to cause havoc or whatever. It's a shame."

WBFF said officers responded around 8:30 p.m. Aug. 30 to the 2200 block of York Road in Timonium for reports of an assault.

Authorities told WBFF the brawl reportedly began at the fairgrounds and ended in a nearby parking lot.

The mother of the girl dragged by her hair told WBFF that "she had drag marks all up her body; she had bruises on her face" and added, "I wanted to talk to the parents to see, like, why, what was going on? Why did you allow this to happen, to find some reasoning in it ..."
