Town leaders in Trumbull met on Wednesday to discuss the massive melee that occurred at a mall last week that involved more than 100 teenagers.

Police said the fight erupted Saturday night at a bus stop outside the Westfield Trumbull shopping center.

Trumbull police said they had to call in Bridgeport and state police officers for backup and were forced to use a stun gun on a 17-year-old who allegedly charged at and knocked down an officer. That teen and another were arrested.

The names of the two teens who were arrested were not released because of their ages. They were charged with breach of peace and interfering with police.

Police said the rowdy teens kept returning to the mall after being thrown out by mall security for allegedly bothering customers.
