Teenagers Brawl with Machetes at Frozen II Screening in England
Several people, including police officers, were injured.
In the city of Birmingham, England, a mass brawl involving about 100 teenagers broke out during a screening of the animated film Frozen II. This is reported by Movieweb.
Some of the teenagers were armed with knives, and two of them came to the cinema with machetes. Several dozen armed police officers arrived at the scene, where they were met with a "very hostile reaction". Some police officers were injured during the brawl.
To bring the situation under control, officers had to use stun guns and police dogs. When the brawl ended, five teenagers aged 13 to 19 were arrested. Four of them were detained on suspicion of assaulting police officers, and the fifth, a 14-year-old boy, was arrested for obstructing police work.
The details of the conflict are not yet known. The incident is particularly notable for police, who had closely monitored screenings of Joker in previous weeks. However, they surprisingly passed off without any problems or provocations around the world.
Last week the cartoon Frozen II hit cinemas. Over its debut weekend it earned $330 million.
