ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Rochester Police say they broke up a crowd of several hundred people on Thursday evening after fights broke out among the group.
Officers responded around 5 p.m. after learning about a crowd gathering at the corner of Thurston Road and Chili Avenue. Police say the crowd continued to grow and blocked traffic on Chili Avenue. Then, several fights broke out both among the crowd and in outlying areas.
Officers told the crowd to disperse, but say some people refused to leave. Police closed down Chili Avenue and Thurston Road while breaking up the crowd. RPD says no one reported any injuries and no one was arrested.
This comes after Mayor Malik Evans announced restrictions on groups of 10 or more people from gathering at night in public places without a permit. He said the new policy, effective immediately, is an effort to address “large gatherings that turn violent.”
Under the policy, it’s unlawful for groups of 10 or more people to gather in the streets between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. unless they have permission from the city. News10NBC has spoken with people who support and people who oppose the policy.
