EDISON, New Jersey (WABC) -- Several teens were arrested after a brawl broke out at the Menlo Park Mall in Edison, New Jersey on Saturday night.
The chaos erupted after hundreds of teens showed up for a gathering planned through TikTok.
One officer was injured in the mayhem.
It started with a call out days before by a social media influencer for his followers to descend on Menlo Park Mall on Saturday night.
"They were having a brawl, they were pushing and shoving, when our officers arrived, they actually started fighting with our officers," Chief Thomas Bryan with the Edison Police Department said.
Three-hundred juveniles were so out of control that police from surrounding towns had to respond as well.
It took about an hour and a half to break up the gathering.
Seven juveniles were arrested, mostly for resisting officers, none of which were from Edison.
One was arrested for assault on an Edison officer.
All of the juveniles were released to their parents eventually.
On Monday, Edison Mayor Sam Joshi spoke about the incident and partially blamed the teenagers' parents.
"What are the parents doing? Aren't the parents aware that they're traveling 45 minutes to cause a disturbance within Edison Township? It makes no sense. Parents need to be focused on their kids, making sure they're not causing this kind of rowdiness in other towns," Joshi said.

“What are the parents doing?”
TikTok and other social media platforms are raising those kids.

There are two kinds of malls, as Chris Rock said:
- The malls the white people go to.
- The malls the white people used to go to.

That sounds like many had serious amounts of illicit fun with exactly zero consequences.
A.K.A.: A party.
