Brawl among teens draws police response to Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance

A brawl among a group of juveniles at the Del Amo Fashion Center prompted a large police response in Torrance Sunday afternoon.

Calls reporting the incident in the 3500 block of West Carson Street began coming into the station around 4 p.m., Torrance Police Department Sgt. Salary said.

Officers responded to the scene and found there was a fight among a group of juveniles.

One witness said that there was a firearm discharged, however, no gunshot victims were located, Salary said.

Video provided by the Citizen app showed a large crowd of people and officers outside the mall.

The Torrance Police Department initially indicated there was some sort of flash mob at the mall. Further investigation by police determined that it was a brawl.

The surrounding businesses did not need to be evacuated and the juveniles were eventually escorted off of the premises, Salary said.

Several citations were issued as a result of the fight but no arrests were made, Salary later said without elaborating.

Minor injuries were reported after the fight, but those who were hurt were treated at the scene.

An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
