Only a handful of arrests were made, and most reports indicated that were not injuries during the organized teen gathering.

The video, if it is authentic, shows obvious violence during the melee.

Hundreds of teenagers swarmed South Street Saturday night.

Police were alerted a tip call from a parent saying that a large group of teenagers and young adults were planning to meet on South Street.

Cops from districts throughout the city and some special units were sent to the area to help maintain control. There were multiple arrests for disorderly conduct, aggravated assault, and obstructing a highway.

On Wednesday, Philadelphia officials are expected to announce a crackdown on teen violence and flash mobs.

Proposed measures include jail time for the parents of teens convicted of crimes, and a potential teen curfew.
