REVERE, Mass. — State police say nine people, including eight juveniles, were arrested after a large disturbance broke out at a suburban Boston beach.
Dozens of police cruisers from surrounding areas made their way to Revere Beach at about 6:15 p.m. Sunday in response to a brawl that resulted in road closures.
Five girls under the age of 18, three boys under the age of 18 and one adult male were arrested. No names were released.
State Police Lt. Dan Richard says those involved in the fight were “pushing and shoving” and throwing plastic soda bottles.
He says the melee was apparently sparked by a group of young people drinking and perhaps smoking marijuana and disturbing nearby families.
Police say between 100 and 200 people were at the scene.
No injuries were reported.
