Another ‘pop-up party’ on Saturday prompted by a TikTok post resulted in thousands converging on the Long Branch boardwalk, the declaration of a public safety emergency, a city-wide 9 p.m. curfew and nine arrests, Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Lori Linskey announced.

After the crowd was dispersed, as of 11:30 p.m., five adults and four juveniles had been arrested. The arrests stemmed from fights that occurred during the large-scale crowding that was encouraged, as with last year, by a social media post that brought thousands to Long Branch for a “party.”

A public safety emergency ensued as a result of multiple fights breaking out throughout parts of the city involving the partygoers. Most, police said, arrived by train to the city and in and around Pier Village.

One flash bang and the deployment of smoke was used by Department of Corrections officers assisting in limited situations in response to fights and bottles and rocks being thrown where the crowd would not disperse. The vast majority of those present left peacefully after the announcement of the curfew.

One police vehicle was vandalized, but there were no significant injuries or property damage reported as of late Saturday night.

Law enforcement officials from the Long Branch Police Department, Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, Monmouth County Emergency Response Team (MOCERT), Monmouth and Middlesex Rapid Deployment Forces (RDF), Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office, New Jersey State Police, Department of Corrections and NJ Transit Police, all responded to the area.
