The Peoria Police Department is investigating after a large fight broke out Saturday night at Elevate Trampoline Park.

Police responded to the business, 8800 N. Allen Rd., just before 9:45 p.m. after juveniles were reported fighting inside.

Officers on scene found people leaving the building, and more inside actively punching each other or pulling hair. A responding officer also noticed the scent of pepper spray, said Peoria Police Public Information Officer Amy Dotson.

More fights started outside the business. Officers dispersed the group until adults came to pick up the teens. Dotson said police didn't use pepper balls or pepper spray to disperse the group.

One parent said her child was attacked, but refused medical treatment at the scene.

Videos of the fight are circulating on social media. Police are reviewing video footage to identify those involved in the incident.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 309-673-4521 or CrimeStoppers anonymously at 309-673-9000.
