Seven Fall River teens and two Medway teens were arrested mid-day Tuesday, May 19, in connection to a melee at Second Beach in Middletown.

They are facing charges after a gathering of 1,200 high school-aged people at the popular Rhode Island beach led to violence, according to reports from WJAR. Tuesday was the hottest day of the year so far with temperatures breaking records and hitting 93 degrees at T.F. Green Airport, according to the National Weather Service.

This incident occurred about two hours before a disturbance at Narragansett Town Beach around 3 p.m. during which three people suffered minor stab wounds. Two adults were arrested on charges not related to the stabbings.

Police were called to Second Beach at 12:45 p.m. Tuesday to monitor the large crowd.
