Authorities shared photos of three unruly swimmers who they say became violent when they were asked to leave a Philadelphia pool last week.
Staff members were able to get the combatants out of the building at which point police said they vandalized three parked cars. Amid the chaos, police say two unknown men entered the rec center building and took an employee's bag which was later recovered.
Police say five people between the ages of 17 and 63 were hurt during the incident, but none of the injuries appear to be serious. The damage to the three parked cars includes a broken windshield, a dent on a roof and scratches. Investigators say they have recovered some video and interviewed witnesses. In a press conference the following afternoon, police encouraged the three female swimmers to contact police.
"Pools are supposed to be a safe place for kids that they can go and relax and cool off, and it's unfortunate that the actions of a few kind of ruined it for the community," said Philadelphia Police Captain Matthew James.
