Fights break out at Kings Dominion during Halloween Haunt

Doswell, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - Multiple fights broke out on Saturday at Kings Dominion.

Authorities say roughly 300 teens were involved in a fight outside the park’s arcade at around 9 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21. Officers worked quickly to de-escalate the situation and no one was arrested.

The Hanover Sheriff’s Office says no guns were involved, and there were no knives or stabbings.

“On Saturday, September 21, rides and outdoor attractions in the park temporarily shut down due to inclement weather.  A minor physical altercation occurred among some juveniles seeking refuge in the park’s Candy Apple Grove area, but was quickly halted by the security team and parties involved were subsequently banned from the park,” said Geoff Zindren, Director of Communications at Kings Dominion.

“Normal operations resumed once the weather cleared the area. At no point were any weapons used or found to be inside the park,” Zindren said.
