Park Center Homecoming Crowd Dispersed Due to ‘Unruly Teens’
Police evacuated the crowd at the Park Center homecoming football game Friday night after several fights broke out in the stands toward the end of the game, police said.
According to a Brooklyn Park police advisory, officers were concerned about “large groups of unruly teens” and reports that some of the teens could be in a possession of a firearm. Police say no guns were found on the grounds or on anyone.
During the incident, officers were also advised that individuals who were denied entry to the game were attempting to get into the stadium by climbing a fence. Officers working with school staff made the decision to evacuate all spectators, but allow the game to continue, the advisory said.
Brooklyn Park police are working with the Osseo School District to see if further action needs to be taken.
Four officers will work the Park Center game this Friday as a precaution, according to Brooklyn Park police.
