Brooklyn definitely goes hard!
Yesterday was complete chaos for the shoppers and workers at Kings Plaza mall in Brooklyn, NY as nearly 400 teens terrorized the venue after word ran around that rapper Fabolous might be performing there.
According to the NY Post, once teens discovered that it was just a rumor, they all went on a frenzy and trashed the whole mall, which forced it to be shut down.
A clerk at one of the candy kiosks said to the Post:
“I was begging them to stop. There were a lot of kids, hundreds of kids . . . [Security] would chase them out one door and they would come back in another door,” said Abu Taleb, 31, a clerk at the kiosk Candy Plaza 2. “I’ve been here seven years, and I have never seen anything like this before.”
The site reports:
Some of the teens staged a game of “knockout” on the top floor — and one may have been carrying a gun, sources said.
“They were playing the ‘knockout’ game,” said Shante, a 21-year-old perfume merchant, in reference to a violent trend in which teens try to knock out an unsuspecting victim with a single punch.
“People were getting really scared,” she said.
The mall was shuttered at around 7 p.m. for roughly an hour and has since issued a temporary “no teens” rule, in which anyone under 21 must be accompanied by an adult, police sources said.
No arrests were made from this incident, but there were many teens who were found to be bragging over the brawl on social media networks.
