Hundreds of youths attended a Halloween party at Jubilee Park in Rackheath, Norfolk, prompting police to attend and scatter the crowd.
Hundreds of youths attended a Halloween party at Jubilee Park in the Norfolk suburb of Rackheath on Saturday night. The event was organised through a TikTok post by an account called Events101, which promoted the gathering for high schoolers and promised refreshments, entertainment and glow-in-the-dark activities.
Residents reported being left fearful for their safety as the crowd gathered. Charlotte Reade, a local resident, said there were "literally hundreds of teenagers" gathering on the field next to the primary school. She said the event had originally been planned for Eaton but was moved to Rackheath, and that some youths attempted to enter residents' gardens as the gathering dispersed upon police arrival.
Another unnamed local said that substantial police and ambulance crews attended, and that broken glass was left scattered across the park where children play. When police arrived at the scene, the youths fled the area. Norfolk Constabulary has been contacted for comment on the incident.
