Police arrested an 18-year-old woman and charges have since been filed against her. However, she wasn't the only person caught on camera getting into fights and breaking the law on Saturday, October 26th.

Hundreds traveled to the Brady Street area to celebrate, but others caused unrest. Videos showed people fighting each other with furniture while others danced on the roof of a fire truck.

“I felt a certain amount of fear when I saw clips of people throwing chairs, as opposed to other behavior that is normal,” said resident Megan Whitney.

“This is incredible. I can’t believe this happened on Brady Street,” said resident Richard Olson.

In one video, a driver tried to drive off while a police officer held her car. Prosecutors said the driver – 18-year-old Dantiyana Johnson – was driving in the wrong lane and crashed into a car moments before the video was recorded.

When the officer finally managed to arrest Johnson, her vehicle continued to roll backwards and eventually crashed into a building. Court records show she is now charged with second-degree recklessly endangering safety and obstructing an officer.

“They’re lucky they didn’t kill or run over anyone,” Olson said. “There is no reason for that. I don’t even know why they did that.”

“It’s hurting a lot of people, aside from the companies that are just trying to be open and entertain people. It’s dangerous,” Whitney said.

Meanwhile, Milwaukee police said they are working to find a solution to the community's concerns. Ald. Jonathan Brostoff said he is working with MPD to figure out how to make Brady Street safer.

“I don’t know why they come here, but it’s a nice place,” Olson said. “People just need to respect each other.”
