TORRANCE, Calif. (KABC) -- A fight amongt juveniles prompted a temporary shutdown of the Del Amo Fashion Center mall in Torrance Saturday, police said.

According to a spokesperson for the Torrance Police Department, officers assigned to monitor the mall noticed a group of juveniles arguing around 12:42 p.m.

Police said that group formed into several other groups. Soon after, the large group of juveniles began to "physically fight amongst themselves," police said.

At least one juvenile was seen fighting with an officer, according to the spokesperson.
