 gathering at East Coast Park after midnight.){kind=link}
A video emerged online showing a huge group (or multiple groups) gathering at East Coast Park.
The video was purportedly taken some time after midnight, after 12am, with the skies looking visibly dark.
The video captioned that the people started running away after the police “suddenly arrived”.
There were more than 20 people, probably in the high 30s, seen crowding and gathering in the video (we attempted to count but then we lost count).
People were seen loitering and mingling on and around the benches, with a bucket that appears to be a Cambro on the table.
They were presumably having a party of sorts, or some form of event or celebration.
