Numerous individuals were taken into custody following a series of altercations and knife attacks involving young adults and teenagers at a well-known Jersey Shore boardwalk during Memorial Day weekend. This prompted officials to temporarily close the busy tourist destination.

Reports indicate that at least 73 individuals, including 52 adults and 21 minors, were apprehended in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. The chaos started early on Friday and continued until approximately 6 a.m. on Monday, according to details from local authorities.

Representative Paul Kanitra, R-N.J., mentioned in a social media update on Sunday that “over 40 arrests have been made in just the past two days by the Seaside Heights Police Department.”

“Their strong leadership is cracking down,” Kanitra continued. “If you go there with bad intentions, you will likely leave in handcuffs.”

Kanitra blamed the surge in teen violence on the state’s “lax” crime laws.

“Seaside Heights, one of the great towns in the 10th Legislative District, continues to deal with the repercussions of New Jersey’s lax on crime policies,” Kanitra said. “But they aren’t taking this sitting down. There is now a strict curfew in place to deal with the juveniles who have increasingly become more and more emboldened as a result of our weak Attorney General.”

The office of New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and Seaside Heights Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
