In the video, four teens were seen fighting while a man wearing a blue and white top and a woman in a white and beige pants tried to intervene to stop the fight.
The brawl seemed to stop for a few seconds before a youngster wearing a white golf shirt decided to start a fight with another boy wearing a grey jersey and black pants. Like, wow!
Eventually, the brawl stopped and the groups split up, but it's just not clear what the fight was about.
Century City spokeswoman Tatum Sieni said security personnel responded immediately after they were informed about the incident at Canal Walk.
At approximately 6.30pm on Saturday, 6 March, a fight broke out in the Half Moon Bay area of Century City between two young adult males, aged 18. All Century City Security Response Vehicles aided by the Canal Walk security were informed and responded immediately. There were no weapons used and one of the males involved sustained an injury above his left eye. The majority of the crowd seen in the video were not involved, but onlookers gathered as a result of the action and the site was cleared in roughly 20 minutes. The incident was reported to SAPS who are investigating the incident further.- Tatum Sieni
A lot of Facebook users were shocked and even lashed out at the young people that were involved.
One user wrote:
You know what I would do with them? I’d send them to Pollsmoor for 24 hours. Each and every little [guy] wants to be gangster, laat hulle kan voel (let them feel).- Nabeelah
Another person suggested teens should have supervised visits to malls:
No school children should be allowed in malls without adult supervision anymore.- Facebook user
But this isn't the first time an incident like this happened, because weeks before this there was a similar brawl at the V&A Waterfront.
There was chaos at the Waterfront on Saturday, 13 February, when a teenage boy was stabbed in the back during an alleged gang fight.
The video showed a group of young men arguing before one person, who appears to be holding a large knife, starts chasing those around him. This took place in front of the busy Victoria Wharf Shopping Centre and onlookers could be heard screaming as the group scattered to evade the knifeman.
Police said the victim did not open a case.
Let's hope incidents like this don't continue.
