DAYTON — New video from inside a Dayton Metro Library branch shows a large fight between dozens of teenagers.
The fight broke out at the Southeast Branch of the Dayton Metro Library on Sept. 27.
The branch is within walking distance from Dayton Public Schools Belmont High School.
Video shows a group of students playing video games until another one swings on another.
The two teens begin to fight and others join immediately after.
A library aid tries to break up the brawl but is not successful.
The video then shows students hop onto tables and pull out their phones to record.
This violence isn’t the first incident Dayton Metro Library system officials have had to deal with.
Two weeks prior, a large fight broke out at the RTA Hub near the Dayton Metro Library downtown, forcing officers to use pepper spray and kick some off the property.
This violence has forced officials to close the Southeast Branch from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday until Oct. 31.
Normal hours of operation will resume on Nov. 1.
