Nearly 400 teenagers were involved in a disturbance in downtown Winston-Salem on Friday night that ended with police officers pepper-spraying several teens and arresting a 19-year-old, police said.
The incident started around 8 p.m. A large group of teens had gathered in the parking lot of First Presbyterian Church off Cherry and Marshall streets, witnesses said.
The group then moved to Third Street, near the U.S. Post Office on Town Run Lane and some of the teen starting running back toward Fourth and Marshall streets.
At some point, a fight broke out between two groups of teens, witnesses said.
About 200 teens eventually gathered in Winston Square Park on Marshall Street.
At least 30 police officers were at the park and 10 police cars were parked along Marshall Street.
Some of the teens, all of whom declined to give their names, said officers pepper-sprayed several teens in an effort to end the melee.
