BEACHWOOD, Ohio -- Officers were called to Beachwood Place on Monday evening for a report of a disturbance at the mall, police said.

Officers were called to the mall just after 6:30 p.m., police said. Details of the disturbance were not immediately available.

The disturbance prompted a lockdown of the mall just after 6:30 p.m., according to a cleveland.com reporter at the scene.

Officers used pepper spray to disperse a crowd and one person suffered a pepper-spray-related injury, a Beachwood Fire Department captain told cleveland.com.

A witness told cleveland.com that he was inside the mall when the officers arrived and used the pepper spray.

"My face burned ... it went into my skin," 19-year old Cleveland resident John Boyd said. "My whole body burned."

Officers from Beachwood, South Euclid, Lyndhurst and other cities have been called to the mall.

This is a developing story that will be updated as more information is available.
