CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. — Three teens have been arrested for allegedly starting a large fight at the Walden Galleria Saturday evening, according to police.

The juveniles, all female, were charged with inciting a riot. 

Around a dozen Cheektowaga police cars responded to the mall with their lights flashing.

A security guard at the mall says a fight started around 7 p.m. and lasted until 9 p.m. The mall says approximately 50 teenagers were involved.

It happened near Regal Cinema and The Melting Pot.

The security guard says the fight appears to have been planned after one teen intentionally tripped another teen.

Walden Galleria issued a statement Monday morning:

"The type of isolated incident that recently took place was absolutely unacceptable. Such misbehavior will not be tolerated. It’s incredibly unfortunate when individuals or small groups disrupt the experience for the 99.9% of our visitors who behave wonderfully.

"Make no mistake, we will be pursuing all avenues to hold accountable individuals who cannot behave appropriately.”
