At least five patrol cars backed by taser cops were sent to suppress 40 teenagers who went on a rampage at a birthday party in Essex, England, on Friday.

Those who were in the riot torched a balcony, beat the neighbors’ doors and threatened to kill each other.

Sue Sutheran, who was at the party with her daughter, said it started when she found that her purse was stolen and confronted them.

“I told them no one was leaving until everyone’s been searched. That’s when they started kicking off,” she said.

Sutheran was beaten and threatened by these teenagers.

“My daughter was screaming because I ended up in the street surrounded by these people who had nicked my carving knives,” Sutheran said.

According to Sutheran, the teenagers pushed her down some stairs and hit her daughter in the ribs. Sutheran’s daughter’s injuries include a swollen side and swollen hand.

Police said they are now checking CCTV footage.

폭동으로 변한 생일 파티

지난 금요일 영국 에섹스에 사는 한 소녀의 14번 째 생일 파티가 폭동의 현장으로 변하는 일이 발생했다.

이로 인해 난동을 부리는 10대 40명을 진압하기 위해 테이저 건으로 무장한 경찰들이 출동했다.

난동을 부린 10대들은 발코니에 불을 지르고 주변 이웃집들의 문을 발로 차고 서로 죽이겠다고 위협했다고 한다.

딸과 함께 그 날 생일파티 현장에 있었던 수 서더랜은 자신이 지갑이 도난 당한 걸 알았을 때 일이 시작됐다고 했다.

수는 이 10대들에 둘러싸여 폭행을 당했다고 한다. 또한 이들은 자신을 계단에서 밀기도 하고 자신의 딸 또한 부상을 당했다고 말했다.

경찰은 현재 CCTV를 확인 중에 있다고 밝혔다.
