Seven Minors Arrested After TikTok-Organized Brawl Involving Over 300 Juveniles at Menlo Park Mall, Edison, NJ; Police Officer Injured

Over 300 juveniles gathered at Menlo Park Mall in Edison, New Jersey, on Saturday for a meet-up organized through TikTok, which escalated into a large brawl. Authorities arrested seven minors in connection with the incident. The crowd reportedly grew from around 100 to more than 300 youths by 8 p.m. The brawl resulted in injuries, including a police officer who broke an ankle. This event follows a similar large-scale gathering at the same mall in late April that also required a major police response and arrests. Separately, in the Navy Yard area, police arrested three juveniles on the same day following reports of teens causing disturbances, disorder, and committing at least two robberies, with investigations ongoing.
