As temperatures climbed in New York City on Monday, tensions among young people also intensified, resulting in a chaotic altercation at a well-known beach location.

The commotion unfolded at Coney Island Beach around 6:30 p.m., when a fight erupted, leading to several individuals being detained, according to police reports to Fox News Digital. Citing law enforcement sources and footage from the scene, The New York Post reported that at least 16 minors were apprehended as numerous youths congregated during the city’s intense heatwave.

Video shows the chaos quickly escalating to the historic Riegelmann Boardwalk and the streets, prompting a heavy police response.

Police said there were no serious injuries and it’s unclear what sparked the unruly incident. 

The NYPD informed Fox News Digital that officers responded following numerous 911 calls about a disruptive group on the beach near Coney Island Avenue and 15th Street.

After emotions had eased, police could be seen forming a human barricade on the sand to move the large group.

Temperatures have skyrocketed over recent days as a dangerous heat dome has smothered the northeast. New York, like many other cities, witnesses heat not seen in a decade, tying its record of 96 degrees set back in 1888, according to Fox Weather. 

Monday’s incident comes after police were forced to disperse a group of around 500 teenagers on Jones Beach in New York City earlier this month, where multiple brawls broke out. Jones Beach is about 30 miles away from Coney Island Beach.

Meanwhile, a series of brawls and stabbings occurred over Memorial Day weekend at a popular Jersey shore boardwalk, leading to dozens of arrests.
