The Cheesecake Factory offered free slices of cheesecake on Wednesday, and the feverish response got out-of-hand in Arlington, with one man arrested.

Arlington County Police responded to the Clarendon location of the national chain, in the 2900 block of Clarendon Boulevard, after 1 p.m. after receiving reports of a crowd and double-parked cars.

According to police, a crowd formed inside the restaurant as customers and delivery drivers for the food delivery service DoorDash clamored to pick up orders.
