TOWSON, MD — Following fights among juveniles at Towson Town Center Saturday night, groups of young people flooded outside.

A worker at a store near the mall described to WJZ what happened next. “There were swarms of kids running up and down screaming. At one point they were blocking the front of our store and then one of them came in and they tore stuff off the front of our display and went back out and came in and started screaming and then threw a drink at my coworker,” she said. Her store will now begin closing earlier on Friday and Saturday nights for the next few weeks.
