A teenager suffered injuries after multiple fights broke out Saturday night at Altitude Trampoline Park, according to Lowell Police.
Officers estimated as many as 400 teenagers, many of them middle schoolers, were inside and outside the trampoline park, located off East Franklin Boulevard.
Videos shared on social media sites showed multiple teenagers fighting on trampoline equipment while officers pulled others away from each other.
According to a statement from Altitude Trampoline Park, Some overly rambunctious teens came into to the park from a different venue nearby and it was quickly apparent that they had a concentrated effort to start trouble.
Tom Parnelle s heart dropped when he surveyed what was left of his beehives Saturday morning.
The Gastonia beekeeper has invested a decade into nurturing more than a dozen colonies of honey bees with partner Sean McCaffrey on a quiet plot of vacant land off Lee Street.
It s a hobby the IT professional has grown over time into a sweet side gig that usually produces enough honey annually, equating to approximately $3,000 in revenue, to treat Parnelle s family to a well deserved vacation.
He arrived Saturday, however, to find his 15 hives knocked over and bees scattered and dying in the cold. They all kind of mass together in the hive and sort of waggle to stay warm and protect the queen, Parnelle said. But with the hives opened up and the bees scattered, it s just too cold for them and they die pretty quickly.

Police say the incident happened off Mountain Avenue in Gastonia. Police say officers responded to the area for an overdose call, and encountered a woman armed with a gun inside the home.
A Gastonia man was sentenced to more than nine years in federal prison for robbing a Circle K convenience store on Cox Road.
A federal jury convicted Yakotus Odum, 31, on Sept. 25, 2020, of Hobbs Act robbery, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
U.S. District Judge Max O. Cogburn Jr. sentenced Odom on Tuesday to 114 months in prison, which equals 9.5 years.
