Arizona skating rink brawl involving teens seen on video as officers respond
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Newly released video shows the moments authorities responded to a massive brawl that erupted in March among teenagers at an Arizona skating rink.
The Glendale Police Department said the incident happened during a spring break teen night event on March 16 at Grate Skate in Glendale, located just outside Phoenix.
Authorities were contacted after multiple fights broke out in the parking out outside the rink after about 200 teenagers were turned away because the facility had reached a capacity of about 500 people, officials said.

In the new body camera video obtained by FOX10, crowds of teenagers can be seen inside and outside the skating rink as officers arrive. The videos have been heavily redacted because of the minors involved, but the melee inside is visible.
Several teens were caught on camera punching one another inside the facility.
