San Francisco CA September 11 2023
Mall security officers responded to a fight but could not do anything to stop them because they believed that several of those involved were armed.
These security officers were not.
The fight involving a large group of teenagers broke out at the San Francisco Centre, formerly known as the Westfield Mall, Saturday night, according to police.
Police said it happened sometimes before 5:45 p.m.
A security guard said that around a dozen teenagers were browsing a store on the second floor when a fight broke out, with the group appearing to attack one person.
The security guard also said there were concerns some of the teens involved were armed.
Although most of the group had left before police arrived, officers did speak with one teen who was still there, according to police. They later released him into the custody of a parent.
