Belleville Police, with assistance from several police agencies, broke up a large crowd of unruly juveniles in a section of the town Friday night. 

An initial investigation indicated that police were called to the vicinity of 33 Washington Avenue after several callers reported a large crowd with individuals engaged in physical confrontations around 11:24 p.m.

Police arrived and reportedly requested assistance from Nutley, Newark, Bloomfield and the Essex County Sheriff's Office after noticing several hundred teens fighting and throwing objects at that location.
