A crowd of people was seen taking over an intersection and possibly starting fires. One person could be seen with what appeared to be a flamethrower.
One person was arrested following the fiery fiasco. Isaiah Duncan-Simmons, 19, from Virginia Beach was booked and charged with disorderly conduct and careless damage of property by fire.
Norfolk Police confirmed to Fox News Digital that the agency received numerous calls for service for "a large gathering of people and cars speeding and driving recklessly at the intersection," police said.
The fiery madness happened Sunday around 8:30 p.m. at the intersection of Redgate Avenue and Greenway Court in the West Ghent neighborhood.

In the video, someone is seen wearing a mask and holding up the possible flamethrower and aiming it overhead with flames spewing into the air. In another section of the clip, someone was seen holding what appeared to be a gas can and dumping gasoline everywhere with flames sparking immediately after.
No injuries were reported.
This is not the first time Norfolk has seen a street takeover.
WVEC-TV reported in March seven people were shot and seriously injured after an unauthorized gathering led to gunfire outside a shopping mall. That case is still under investigation.
As for the West Ghent incident, Norfolk Police are asking the public to submit any video or photos of the event as they investigate.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
