What a collection of genius's, their parents should be proud.
Three teens were arrested after fights and bad behaviour shut down the CNE several hours early last night.
The unruly behavior came as “Youth Day” was nearing its end. The promotional event allowed people under 17 years old to get in for just $6.
Video footage from the scene showed fights breaking out amid a heated groups of young people at the CNE’s midway and police had to be brought in to disperse the crowd.

“It was a very scary scene because you had to run really fast so that people wouldn’t trample you,” one girl told CP24 outside the event.
Officials decided to shut down the event in consultation with Toronto police at around 9 p.m.
No one was seriously injured in the ruckus. However three teens were arrested. Toronto police said a 16-year-old boy was arrested for assault and failing to comply with conditions, a 16-year-old girl was arrested for assault, and a 17-year-old boy was arrested for drug possession.
“The behavior that we saw was very disappointing,” CNE general Manager Virginia Ludy told CP24. “It’s not something that I would expect of the youth of Toronto. When we have to shut down an event of this size and scope because of the behavior of a few, it’s very disappointing.”
Ludy said the CNE will be reviewing how to proceed with the event in the future in light of how it ended last night.
