A large gathering of youths at Menlo Park Mall in Edison, New Jersey, led to chaos Saturday night, originating from a planned meet-up on TikTok. The event escalated quickly from around 100 participants to over 300, prompting police intervention. Seven minors were arrested, primarily for disorderly conduct and assaulting an officer, with additional support from neighboring police departments required to manage the crowd. While the intent behind the gathering remains unclear, social media influence is evident, marking a recurring issue with similar incidents linked to mass meet-ups.
Hundreds of youths descended upon a north Jersey mall Saturday night in a meet-up that was reportedly pre-planned on TikTok and led to a massive brawl.
Edison police had to call for back-up from neighboring police departments to clear out the hooligans, with one officer fracturing their ankle in the chaos.
