More than 400 teenagers laid siege to Ontario Beach Park, prompting security increases ahead of Memorial Day Weekend, the New York Post reported.

According to the Post:

The brawlers milled around the parking lot and appeared to throw punches at random as several full-on fights broke out. Crowds gathered around each fistfight all while bystanders carefully steered their cars through the parking to reach an exit that wasn’t blocked by the hooligans.

Several teens were thrown onto the concrete and jumped on.
