When officers arrived at the scene and asked the teen to leave, he allegedly refused and began fighting, eventually resisting arrest, police say.

The 16-year-old, whose name has been withheld due to Juvenile Delinquency status, was successfully taken into custody. He was charged with obstructing government administration, a Class A misdemeanor, resisting arrest, a Class A misdemeanor, and trespassing, a violation.

The juvenile was issued a Juvenile Appearance Ticket and is scheduled to appear in the Westchester County Department of Probation on Tuesday, Oct. 15.
