Three teenagers face riot charges after multiple fights broke out inside a Washington, D.C.-area mall and forced authorities to close the shopping complex Saturday evening.

Officers responded just after 7 p.m. to the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City in Arlington, Virginia, where they found “a very large crowd in the food court and numerous fights happening simultaneously,” the Arlington County Police Department said in a news release on Sunday.

Video shared on social media shows a massive police response inside the food court. 

Despite the large police presence, “the crowd remained disorderly and fights continued to occur,” police said.
