December 28, 2013 Brookyln New York (CBSNewYork) — The NYPD assigned extra officers to patrol a Brooklyn mall on Friday — a day after it was crashed by a teen stampede. <br /> <br />Cops swarmed the Kings Plaza Shopping Center in Mill Basin to prevent any hint of a repeat of a flash mob of more than 300 kids who started fighting, yelling and running wild. <br /> <br />Mall officials requested that "minor children have an adult escort" at the buyers' haven. <br /> <br />The pandemonium on Thursday was sparked by a Facebook post in which young people were urged to put Kings Plaza "on tilt," police sources said. <br /> <br />Video posted online of the madness shows several girls getting into fights before police officers intervene, and other kids dashing throughout the mall. <br /> <br />Abu Taleb watched in horror as the teens poached items from other vendors. He said he couldn't escape the throngs of pint-sized pickpockets as they raided his jars of sweets — and tried to get their paws on his cash. <br /> <br />"It was scary," Taleb told the Daily News. "Everybody was scared. There were a lot of people, a lot of kids. It was very loud. Security tried to stop them, but they could not do it. <br /> <br />"Kids tried to get my cash from the register," he continued. "(One) had scissors and was acting like he (was) going to attack me." <br /> <br />Despite online evidence of the mall melee, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said no one filed a complaint about being assaulted or robbed. <br /> <br />Deputy Chief Kim Royster said cops were called about 9 p.m. Thursday to disperse the crowd of rascals, who caused more of a ruckus than a crime. <br /> <br />"They weren't stealing anything," said the NYPD spokeswoman. "They weren't assaulting anyone. They were going through the mall, making loud noises. Some were fighting with each other.
