A chaotic scene unfolded at a popular tourist spot in Florida over the weekend as more than 1,000 teenagers swarmed the area in a viral “takeover,” resulting in nearly a dozen arrests and two police officers requiring medical attention.

The pandemonium erupted at Orlando’s ICON Park around 7 p.m. on Saturday, as reported by FOX 35, when the large group of adolescents arrived, causing disruptions and disorder.

Amid the turmoil, several skirmishes broke out, leading to injuries for two deputies from Orange County who were attempting to restore peace.

Both officers were taken to the hospital for treatment and have since been discharged, according to official statements.

As a result of the incident, nine individuals were arrested on various charges, including assaulting a law enforcement officer, resisting with violence, resisting without violence, and trespassing after being warned, as reported by FOX 35.

Chaotic video obtained by FOX 35 shows local authorities ordering the teens to leave the area as police cars lined the roads. Additional footage shows teens running through the streets as onlookers watch from inside a restaurant.

“They said they planned something on TikTok – a ‘TikTok Takeover,’” one individual can be heard saying.

“They posted that s— on YouTube,” another person replies.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office reportedly said the agency was “aware” of an event being planned at the entertainment complex and assigned several deputies to the location in preparation for the group’s arrival. 

In response to the wild takeover, ICON Park has implemented a chaperone policy requiring all minors to be accompanied by an adult while visiting the theme park, FOX 35 reported.

“ICON Park always has the safety of our guests and employees top of mind. We are committed to keeping ICON Park a place where guests of all ages can come and enjoy all we have to offer,” ICON Park said in a statement, according to the outlet.

The mob scene is only the latest to make headlines after dozens of social-media-fueled teen “takeovers” have plagued authorities throughout the country, resulting in arrests and disturbing communities.

“We are aware of a growing pattern of large, organized gatherings at entertainment destinations, and we are taking a proactive approach to ensure these environments remain welcoming for everyone,” Commissioner Mike Scott said, FOX 35 reported.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department and ICON Park did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
