Pepper spray used to stop fight at Park Center High School

The Brooklyn Park Police Department said one juvenile was arrested Thursday night following an altercation at a high school sporting event.

According to police, the fight began between attendants of a Park Center High School sporting event as they began to leave the area.

Police said multiple fights broke out in front of officers, adding that individuals involved in one of the fights ignored their orders to stop fighting.
