BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) –
Police from multiple agencies converged on the Mall of Louisiana Saturday after several fights broke out inside the mall. The mall was evacuated and several arrests were made.
EBRSO spokesperson Casey Rayborn-Hicks says deputies were first called to the mall around 6pm. Deputies say several small fights occurred in various parts of the mall with the largest fight occurring in the food court area.
While there were an estimated 200 juveniles in the area at the time, it was unclear how many people took part in the altercations. As of 9pm, deputies said they expected to charge up to ten people in connection with the fights.
Baton Rouge Police and the Louisiana State Police also responded. Deputies say the juveniles quickly dispersed to other areas inside and outside the mall. Workers at most stores in the mall pulled down security gates to prevent people from entering their stores.
A spokesman for EMS says ambulances responded to the scene but, as of 7:40pm, no ambulances were needed to treat anyone on the scene.
