PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - A brawl involving a number of young people, mostly girls, resulted in several arrests and charges being filed in Center City and the entire incident was caught on tape.
Police took a number of unruly teens into custody around 7 p.m. Thursday, March 17, when group of teenage girls started to fight inside the H&M clothing store at 16th and Chestnut Streets. Police and store security were nearby and quickly broke up the feuding teens while onlookers grabbed their cell phones and started recording.
A number of the teens attempted to make a get away following the incident, but police quickly rounded them up and took them into custody.
Video shows the store in disarray, a mannequin wearing a “Not Violence” t-shirt was knocked to the ground and lost it’s head, a gift card display was knocked over and pieces of a woman’s hair weave were strewn on the floor.
Police say the suspects in the incident face various juvenile charges, including reckless endangerment.
Authorities have increased patrols and presence in that area since it has become a popular gathering spot for large groups of young people.
As milder weather sets in, police say they expect to maintain a large presence in that area of Center City. The same gathering area had been the scene of a previous crowd disturbance and a shooting outside one of the stores.

Watched the video. Ah those wild Amish kids!
Without looking at the video, I will guess it was Amish yoots
I will investigate the one white guy,who was involved with
“My People!”-Eric Holder
A brawl in Philly?
The usual urban “jungle” situation. Is anyone surprised? The usual suspects seem involved. Civilization has a thin veneer.
Let.me guess (without having watched the video):
HOLDER’S PEOPLE?
The City of Brotherly Shove.
Mannequin loses its head, and a reporter loses their dictionary.
Is it me, or are these large ruckus’s happening more frequently?
No need to guess the ethnic persuasion involved...and it is truly sad that this can be said.
No more jump rope and paper dolls!
Just wait for the O’conomy to collapse when the welfare checks and food stamps stop rolling in like clockwork.
These animals won’t be brawling in the stores, they’ll be brawling in our homes.
Buy food, TP and ammo now.
It was the aristocracy that brought the ancestors of these people here 150-300 years ago because they wanted cheap labor and it is the aristocracy (and political elite) that are bringing illegals here now because of the same greed. While cheap labor benefits the “elite” it has always been average Americans who pay and have been paying ever since.

And this is like Center City.
Imagine what it’s like (correct usage) in Kensington & other areas.
Ah, the Halcyon days of youth when we used to take the P&W to 69th street & hop the subway to Chestnut to window shop & grab one of those famous hot dogs that Grants grilled up...
It’s time to crack down on these Amish hoodlums. We need to DOJ to investigate. /sar
LOL!
No, it’s not you. This has probably always happened but most people would jump in and separate the two instead of videotaping it and posting on youtube. Welcome to the Voyeurism of Now.
I live over 60 miles north of Phila, and we get called to Federal jury duty there. No one wants to go there anymore. I used to drive to the zoo with the kids, but I haven’t for years now.
