Hundreds of young people filled the streets and sidewalks in Chicago<\/a> last week in what Mayor Brandon Johnson is calling “teen trends” that he warned can turn deadly.<\/p>\n

Video, obtained by Fox News from ChitownCrimeChasers, showed the teens filling streets and sidewalks on March 30, clustering around parked vehicles and moving through intersections.<\/p>\n

Other footage from that night captured different individuals dancing and socializing in the city’s streets, while other moments showed people climbing on cars and brief altercations within the crowd.<\/p>\n

In Hyde Park, residents say the March 30 takeover lasted for hours late into the night.<\/p>\n

One resident, Jason Hale, said his car was among roughly 30 affected<\/a> by crowds in Chicago that night.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, it\u2019s bad. The hood is messed up, terrible. A thousand worth of damage, dents everywhere, footprints everywhere,” Hale told FOX 32 Chicago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Video shows groups of teens standing and moving on top of parked vehicles as crowds formed around them.<\/p>\n

GOT A TIP?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Chicago police confirmed to the local outlet that three curfew violations were issued in connection with the gathering. A 16-year-old girl was also charged with unlawful possession of a weapon and disorderly conduct.<\/p>\n

City officials and police have described these gatherings, which are often organized through social media, as part of a broader, growing trend across Chicago.<\/p>\n

“We’re currently tracking five. That’s right. Five teen trends across the city this weekend,” the mayor said in an April 3 message<\/a>. “I’m calling on all parents<\/a>. Check in with your children. See where they plan to be this weekend. Please, do not allow your child to attend any of these trends this weekend.”<\/p>\n

“They’re unsafe, and they can turn deadly. Our police officers will be out enforcing the city’s 10 p.m. curfew<\/a>,” he said.<\/p>\n

Some residents say the repeated gatherings are raising concerns about safety and quality of life.<\/p>\n

Hale said the incident has prompted him to reconsider staying in the city.<\/p>\n

“Your kids should not be out here\u2026 I had parents who guided me,” he said. “And these parents, they just let them run rampant.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
