Panic on the Boardwalk. Large gatherings at the beach. A shooting in the street.
These are just some of the incidents police responded to last Friday in the midst of Ocean City’s Independence Day celebrations.
While it was reported the city’s police, fire, and emergency services
operations were fully staffed heading into the Fourth of July weekend, officials said Friday was challenging as
illegal and disruptive behavior intensified throughout the evening.
“It was a difficult night,” City Manager Terry McGean said this week. “And it’s not something we’ll tolerate going forward.”
Fireworks discharge cause Boardwalk panic
Chaos erupted Friday night at the start of Ocean City’s downtown fireworks show after one or more persons discharged fireworks into the Boardwalk crowd.
And they want to be called “a family resort”????? Not hardly.
The culprits that shot off fireworks into crowds of people are on video. I’ve watched it on Facebook so why haven’t they been identified and arrested?
people jumping on cars was also lock them up
I wouldn’t spend my hard earned money in that rat hole for any reason. There are decent places to go that even have free parking and everything isn’t priced at rip-off prices for the tourons, like Ocean City. Ocean City is a Has Been!!!!!
