D.C. police and the FBI are investigating a violent fight over the weekend at a Chipotle restaurant in Navy Yard.

Around 8:40 p.m. Saturday night, police were called to the Navy Yard Chipotle in the 1200 block of First Street SE for reports of a large fight inside. Videos of the incident show teenagers fighting and throwing chairs at one another, while families with young children sat eating nearby.

U.S. Attorney for the District Jeanine Pirro displayed giant images of the people involved taken from video footage at a news conference Monday, where she once again called on parents to do more to control their kids.

“This terrorizing is going to end,” she said. “It was a takeover of a restaurant by individuals who felt like they could get away with it, well they’re not going to get away with it.”
