NH Teens Shouting 'Bike Life' Arrested In Riot: Police

MANCHESTER, NH — A group of Manchester teenagers were arrested Monday after police said they caused a riot — fighting with each other, throwing rocks at buildings and attacking passersby with scooters and bicycles. The eight teenagers — ranging in age from 14 to 17 — were charged with a host of crimes, including rioting and resisting arrest.

Police said the incident happened in the Pine Street area. The first officers on scene saw the group beating another teen with a stick.

"The officers attempted to intervene at which point the suspects began to run/bike away," Manchester police Lieutenant Brian O'Keefe said in a statement. "Many of the juveniles seemed to be filming themselves as officers were in pursuit and some were shouting 'Bike Life' as the officers were in chase."

Police said the identities of the teenagers were withheld because they are minors.
