FALL RIVER, Mass. (WLNE) — The Fall River Police Department released body camera footage of an incident that took place at a McDonalds Wednesday.

The incident ended with eight juveniles placed under arrest.

Around 3 p.m yesterday staff at the restaurant on President Avenue reached out to police, saying a group of juveniles were causing issues in the parking lot.

The department said officers gave the group more than 23 warnings to leave the property or they would be trespassing.

Body camera footage follows an officer in the building speaking with what look like students, asking them to leave, before it cuts to them outside crowding an entrance.

Once the teens returned inside, the officer gave a final warning.

“Last time, all the cruisers in the city are coming. If you’re not sitting down and eating, or just standing, time to go,” he can be heard saying.
