A Washington, DC Chipotle was rocked when a huge brawl broke out, with teenagers filmed throwing chairs across the restaurant. A 'teen takeover' on Saturday night at around 8.45pm saw a large group of youngsters trashing the Navy Yard Chipotle and throwing punches at each other on the restaurant floor. The brawl descended into further chaos as they began to launch the heavy chairs at each other and started climbing over the chain restaurant's furniture. One teenager, wearing a blue surgical mask with his hood over his head, was seen lifting a wooden high chair over his head and slamming it on another youngster, an online video showed. Both then picked up another chair each and launched it into the air at each other, as the two chairs collided and fell onto the floor. Footage also captured a father holding his young daughter and son close to him as they sheltered behind a concrete pillar while the chaos unfolded. As other teenagers were seen filming the scene from outside, screams and laughter echoed from the onlookers before blue and red police lights were seen in the reflection of the glass. According to police, multiple teens seen in black clothing and ski masks were told by other youngsters that police had arrived and 'subsequently, all juveniles fled on foot.' A 'teen takeover' on Saturday night saw a large group of young people trashing the Washington, DC Chipotle and throwing punches at each other on the restaurant floor According to police, multiple teenagers seen in black clothing and ski masks were told that police had arrived and 'subsequently, all juveniles fled on foot' from the Navy Yard Chipotle The brawl descended into further chaos as they began to launch the heavy chairs at each other and started climbing over the chain restaurant's furnitureKen Ledet, a local, told WJLA that similar kinds of mayhem have been a common sight in DC as of late. 'It's not shocking anymore, since this has become routine on Saturdays and Friday nights, but it's disappointing to know this is still happening,' he told the outlet. 'I actually come to this Chipotle at least three or four times a week, so thankfully I didn't come here last night.'According to the outlet, police were seen chasing a potential suspect involved in the brawl who was subsequently arrested. The violent scenes come just a day after US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro announced that the parents of teenagers involved in such violence would also be prosecuted. 'Starting today, my office will aggressively prosecute parents under DC's curfew law. It involves contributing to the delinquency of a minor. This statute makes it unlawful for an adult to enable, facilitate or permit a minor to engage in delinquent acts,' Pirro said.'We're going to charge them, and if you drop your kid off and you fail to supervise them or you let them skip school to join the chaos, you are going to face fines, court-ordered classes and possible jail time.'Pirro added that parents could face up to six months behind bars.

Nic Wilson, an advisory neighborhood commissioner for a part of Navy Yard and father of a teenager, told WJLA: 'I think it's federal overreach. The accountability that I was talking about and really needs to happen on a local level, like we need to start investing more in our communities and our families.''We don't want the teens coming in and committing crimes and causing trouble,' he continued. 'But also, one of the things that we found out when we talk to teens is sometimes coming out is better than what's going on in their household.' Wilson also warned that arrests and jail time add to the cycle and 'is actually kind of how we got to where we're at now.''There's no one at home because they got locked up and thrown in jail. We're not going to police our way out of this situation,' Wilson added. 'We have hard-working moms and dads. Some of these children are out there. Parents are out working. I don't feel like they need to be punished because they're working hard...'A citywide curfew already stands for DC, requiring anyone under the age of 18 to be off the streets from 11pm to 6am from Sunday to Thursday and 12.01am to 6am on Friday and Saturday nights. But the recent uptick in 'teen takeovers' and the violent scenes unfolding on DC's streets led the Metropolitan Police Chief Jeffrey Carroll to impose a stricter curfew from 8pm that bans anyone under 18 from gathering in groups of nine or more for up to three days, WJLA reported. However, as of Saturday night's brawl, the order had expired, according to the outlet. Footage also captured a father, above in red, holding his young daughter and son close to him as they sheltered behind a concrete pillar while the chaos unfoldedThe DC Council, however, approved a law for a permanent curfew, which will not go into effect until the summer. 'It's really puzzling to me because there's nothing here for adolescents or teenagers. I understand DC is taking measures to involve youth in different groups, but I really think people's parents need to get more involved and understanding where their children are,' Ledet told WJLA. Edward Daniel, a neighboring commissioner, told WJLA: 'I'm honestly happy with the accountability piece of this. When it comes to parental accountability, because we've dealt with this now for a year.'It remains unclear if any charges were brought against any of the teens involved or their parents.
