Dayton Metro Library Executive Director Jeffrey Trzeciak said there have been several fights at this location among teens during the last two years, but the most recent one was dramatic.
“We had a significant incident involving around three hundred teens,” Trzeciak said.
Joan Barber said she saw the fight break out.
“These kids came running out, it’s a fight, it’s a fight and they all came out screaming out the door and someone said they had a knife,” Barber said.
