Shocking footage captured the moment hundreds of unruly Chicago teens shoved a lifeguard as they overran an upscale suburb’s public pool.
The ‘flash mob’ of around 200 teens and young adults swarmed Glen Ellyn’s Sunset village pool on Saturday, forcing their way past security to pack out the area.
Lifeguard Christine Guinta-Mayer was seen in the footage being shoved into the pool by the mob, who taunted her as the upset worker scrambled to get out of the water.
Stunned residents told the DuPage Policy Journal that the group also set off fireworks into the pool, brought marijuana and alcohol to the pool, and stole other attendees’ belongings.
‘They were drinking and smoking weed and swearing a lot,’ one local teen told the outlet. ‘Someone threw a lit cigar into the pool
‘I saw Miller Lite bottles and girls drinking on-the-rocks cosmos… They were taking people’s stuff and moving it from their pool chairs.’
The Glen Ellyn Police Department arrived soon after to disband the rowdy crowd, and one person was reportedly arrested for throwing a firework ‘in close proximity to pedestrians.’
The department did not immediately respond to a request for an update on any actions taken.
One person was arrested ? That pool area should have been surrounded by police an all taken out one by one and arrested. That the only way to stop this Bullshit
