KARE WE SPOKE WITH SEVERAL WITNESSES, TOURISTS COMING TO BALTIMORE, SOME OF IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. THEY TELL US THEY SAW WHAT THEY BELIEVE TO BE 100 TEENS IN THE AREA OF THE INNER HARBOR CAUSING CHAOS AND JUMPING ON CARS, TRYING TO STEAL BELONGINGS. WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT MOMENTS AGO ABOUT THIS ALL BEGAN AROUND 6:30. THERE IS AN INNER HARBOR UNIT SCHEDULED HERE. THEY INITIALLY NOTICED A LARGE GROUP OF TEENAGERS GATHERED IN THE AREA. MOMENTS LATER, THEY RECEIVED CALLS ABOUT SEVERAL FIGHTS IN THE AREA. THAT IS WHEN SCORES OF POLICE OFFICERS CAME DOWN TO CHECK THINGS OUT. WE SHOT SOME VIDEO EARLIER ABOUT WHAT THE SCENE LOOKED LIKE. PLEASE ALSO TELL US THAT, AT THE END OF ALL OF THIS, THEY MADE SIX ARRESTS. WE DON’T KNOW THE AGES OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN ARRESTED THEM IF THEY WERE SPECIFICALLY INVOLVED IN FIGHTS OR WHAT THEY WERE DOING. WE GOT DOWN HERE ROUGHLY AROUND 9:30 AND DID SEE A LARGE POLICE PRESENCE HERE. WE WALKED OVER TO PRATT STREET WHERE WE SAW MORE POLICE ACTIVITY. WE SAW OFFICERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, TRYING TO DISPERSE THE TEENS AWAY FROM THE INNER HARBOR. NO I SPOKE TO SOME WITNESSES EARLIER, AND LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT WHAT THEY SAW AT THE SCENE. WHEN WE FIRST ARRIVED, WE SAW A BUNCH OF CHILDREN JUST SCREAMING AND RANTING AND RAVING AND RUNNING. SO WE WALKED FURTHER DOWN AWAY FROM IT AND WE SAW MORE CHILDREN . THERE COULD HAVE BEEN 100 KIDS RUNNING AROUND JUST ACTING CRAZY HITTING PEOPLE, TRYING TO TAKE THEIR STUFF, SO THAT IS WHAT WE RAN INTO. KARE THE SCENE HERE SEEMS TO BE BACK TO NORMAL. THERE ARE STILL TOURISTS WALKING AROUND, TRAFFIC IS CLEAR. BUT IT APPEARS THAT ALL OF THE JUVENILES DOWN HERE HAVE LEFT THE SCENE, SO THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL. BUT POLICE DID MAKE SIX ARRESTS. WE DON’T KNOW THE AGES, BUT WHEN WE FIND OUT, WE WILL LET YOU KNOW. REPORTING LIVE, KAREN CAMPBELL, WDL. VANESSA:
