A Washington DC Chipotle was rocked after a huge brawl broke out as teenagers were filmed throwing chairs across the restaurant. 

A 'teen takeover' on Saturday night at around 8.45pm saw a large group of teens trashing the Navy Yard Chipotle and throwing punches at each other on the restaurant floor. 

The brawl descended into further chaos as they began to launch the heavy chairs at each other and started climbing over the chain restaurant furniture. 

One teen, seen in a blue surgical mask with his hood over his head, was seen lifting a wooden high chair over his head and slamming it on another teen, video online showed. 

Both then picked up another chair each and launched it into the air at each other, as the two chairs collided and fell onto the floor. 

Footage also captured a father holding his young daughter and son close to him as they sheltered behind a concrete pillar while the chaos unfolded. 

As other teens were seen filming the scene from outside, screams and laughter echoed from the onlookers before blue and red police lights were seen in the reflection of the glass. 

According to police, multiple teens seen in black clothing and ski masks were told by other teens that police had arrived and 'subsequently, all juveniles fled on foot.'

Ken Ledet, a local of the area, told WJLA that similar kinds of mayhem have been a common sight in DC as of late. 

'It's not shocking anymore, since this has become routine on Saturdays and Friday nights, but it's disappointing to know this is still happening,' he told the outlet. 

'I actually come to this Chipotle at least three or four times a week, so thankfully I didn't come here last night.'

According to the outlet, police were seen chasing a potential suspect involved in the brawl who was subsequently arrested. 

The violent scenes come just a day after US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro announced that the parents of teenagers involved in such violence would also be prosecuted. 

'Starting today, my office will aggressively prosecute parents under DC's curfew law. It involves contributing to the delinquency of a minor. This statute makes it unlawful for an adult to enable, facilitate or permit a minor to engage in delinquent acts,' Pirro said.

'We're going to charge them, and if you drop your kid off and you fail to supervise them or you let them skip school to join the chaos, you are going to face fines, court-ordered classes and possible jail time.'

Pirro added that parents could face up to six months behind bars. 

'This sends a clear message to the parents that you must supervise your kids or face criminal consequences,' she added. 

Nic Wilson, an Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner for a part of Navy Yard and father of a teenager, told WJLA: 'I think it's federal overreach. The accountability that I was talking about and really needs to happen on a local level, like we need to start investing more in our communities and our families.'

'We don't want the teens coming in and committing crimes and causing trouble,' he continued. 'But also, one of the things that we found out when we talk to teens is sometimes coming out is better than what's going on in their household.' 

Wilson also warned that arrests and jail time adds to the cycle and 'is actually kind of how we got to where we're at now.'

'There's no one at home because they got locked up and thrown in jail. We're not going to police our way out of this situation,' Wilson added. 'We have hard-working moms and dads. Some of these children are out there. Parents are out working. I don't feel like they need to be punished because they're working hard...'

A citywide curfew already stands for DC, requiring anyone under the age of 18 to be off the streets from 11pm to 6am from Sunday to Thursday and 12.01am to 6am on Friday and Saturday nights. 

But the recent uptick in 'teen takeovers' and the violent scenes unfolding on DC's streets led the Metropolitan Police Chief Jeffrey Carroll to impose a stricter curfew from 8pm that bans anyone under 18 from gathering in groups of nine or more for up to three days, WJLA reported. 

However, as of Saturday nights brawl, the order had expired, according to the outlet. 

The DC Council, however, approved a law for a permanent curfew which will not go into effect until the summer. 

'It's really puzzling to me because there's nothing here for adolescents or teenagers. I understand DC is taking measures to involve youth in different groups, but I really think people's parents need to get more involved and understanding where their children are,' Ledet told WJLA. 

Edward Daniel, a neighboring commissioner, told WJLA: 'I'm honestly happy with the accountability piece of this. When it comes to parental accountability, because we've dealt with this now for a year.'

It remains unclear if any charges were brought against any of the teens involved or their parents. 

The Daily Mail reached out to the MPD for further information.  

Just last month, DC's Navy Yard descended into chaos after a massive group of teens were seen sprinting down the roadway as police arrived on scene.

Investigator Elissa De Souza, who posted a video of the chaos, said: 'What should've been a great night out in Navy Yard turned into something we're seeing far too often.'

'Sitting at dinner at Takumi (one of the newest additions to the neighborhood) this was the view: chaos spilling into the streets, fights breaking out, and large groups of teens running through the area after yet another reckless event at the Bullpen,' she added. 

The Metropolitan Police Department told the Daily Mail regarding the April 11 incident that the agency did not make any arrests in connection to the incident, but the Metro Transit Police Department did arrest four people on Metro platforms that night.

The minors were arrested at the Navy Yard station, with three of them being cited for disorderly affray, or fighting, and the fourth for disorderly conduct, assaulting a police officer, and unlawful entry, according to the Metro Transit Police Department.

Mayor Bowser's office told the Daily Mail at the time that she remained onboard with the curfew.

A similar teen takeover took place just before the new year, resulting in five being arrested after getting into a violent clash with the National Guard in Washington DC.

An officer was injured during the melee after hundreds of youths descended on the city's famed Navy Yard just after 7.30pm on October 31, police said.

The teens were peaceful at first, but as the night progressed, the 'group began engaging in fights and disrupting the flow of traffic, repeatedly ignoring instructions to remain on the sidewalks.'

Dramatic video shot by a nearby resident showed teenagers pursued by police, including National Guardsmen, running in the park. Screams can be heard in the chaos.

Police - alongside the National Guard, Capitol Police, Metro Transit Police, and a Federal Task Force - closed down the streets in the area and worked to disperse the group.

By 11pm, the group had dispersed, and five were arrested.

Kaeden Brown, 18, was arrested for allegedly being in possession of a knife.

Four minors, between the ages of 14 and 16, were also arrested on various charges, including public consumption of marijuana, affray, and failing to obey.

The Daily Mail reached out to the Council of the District of Columbia, US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro and Mayor Muriel Bowser for comment.
