Authorities received reports of a confrontation involving a group of teenagers and another boy in a shopping center’s food court, which escalated into a chair-throwing incident.
The teenagers began tossing chairs at the boy, with some of the furniture plummeting to the lower level of the mall.
Before the police could reach the scene, all involved teens had already disappeared, and fortunately, no one was hurt during the commotion.
Video footage from the incident captures the chaotic scene as the teens lob chairs at one another, and then seemingly aim at unsuspecting shoppers.
One woman, who was on an escalator, had to quickly avoid a stool that was thrown in her direction.
As of now, charges have been filed against seven boys, including a 17-year-old, two 16-year-olds, and four 15-year-olds.
An 18-year-old was also arrested in Newtown on Tuesday.
He was later charged with affray and granted conditional bail to appear at court in January.
A 16-year-old boy was arrested at Waterloo at about 1am this morning.
He was taken to Mascot Police Station and also charged with affray.
He was refused bail and will face children’s court today.
