Here’s more on what happened:

KTLA – There were reports that roughly 200 people gathered at the Long Beach shopping center after a post on social media indicated that two females, one adult, and one juvenile were going to fight went viral.

Long Beach police confirmed the department got word of the planned fight and had officers stationed near the property.

Video obtained by stringer service OC Hawk shows two young girls getting into a fistfight. There was a large group of teens surrounding the two girls as the fight continued, with many seen recording the confrontation on their phones.

Officers eventually intervened and broke up the crowd while arresting the two girls involved. A handful of police officers stayed at the scene to patrol the area. Police reportedly brought in a bus to The Pike Outlets in the event there would be a large number of juveniles to be detained.

The owners of The Pike Outlets and store owners elected to close shops early in response to the incident. The shopping center was closed at around 6 p.m. Saturday and guests were told to clear out. Officers made an announcement that anyone who didn’t comply would be arrested.
