   Surveillance video captured a wild melee between teens at an   
   Arizona skating rink over the weekend that prompted officers to   
   deploy their pepper spray and one cop to use his Taser on a 16-   
   year-old boy.   
      
   The Great Skate in Glendale was hosting an all-night event   
   Saturday when several fights broke out inside and outside the   
   venue about 9 p.m., FOX10 reported. Glendale police, who on   
   Wednesday released video of the melee, said the fights began   
   when staff members started turning away 200 people waiting to   
   get inside the rink.   
      
   The event had reached capacity, with more than 500 people inside   
   the building.   
      
   Surveillance video showed several teens on roller skates lunging   
   at each other. Police said they used pepper spray to disperse   
   groups and officers acted accordingly to halt the "mob-like   
   environment."   
      
   At one point, a 16-year-old boy ran toward an officer whose back   
   was turned. Police said the teen was inside the event without a   
   wristband and being disruptive. As the 16-year-old was being   
   escorted out of the venue, he grabbed a sign, ripped it and   
   knocked a display to the ground. An officer deployed his pepper   
   spray and Taser on the teen, who was later taken to the hospital   
   and could face charges of aggravated assault on a police officer.   
      
   Niquel Braker, an 11-year-old who was at the event, said she was   
   hit with pepper spray.   
      
   "It feels bad," Braker told FOX10. "You can't see. Everything's   
   blurry. The pepper is cutting into your eye."   
      
   Said Braker’s mother, Shawna Slarb: "I've never been pepper   
   sprayed in my entire life, but my little daughter has."   
      
   Officers were eventually able to contain the fights and shut   
   down the event. Police said they have been in contact with the   
   skating rink managers to address the incident.   
      
   Some parents have voiced their concerns about how Glendale   
   police and the skating rink handled Saturday’s situation.   
      
   "We are understanding that they have a big problem with   
   aggression, we want to address that and we want the Glendale   
   Police chief to address that as well," one parent, Katt   
   McKinney, said.
