Authorities said that's when a heated exchange occurred between the group and mall security, and one adult attempted to punch an off-duty officer in the face who was assisting mall security.

Pepper spray had to be used to disperse the crowd. Seven juveniles were arrested for disorderly conduct, along with two adults. One of the adults is charged with second-degree assault on an officer and resisting arrest.
