Social media pop up party in Long Branch

A large-scale gathering encouraged by a social media posting caused thousands of people to arrive in Long Branch, specifically, areas in and around Pier Village.

The majority of those people arrived by train. At certain points the crowd was estimated to be several thousand people.

A public safety emergency ensued as a result of multiple fights breaking out throughout parts of the city involving the partygoers.

According to the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, multiple agencies responded to assist with dispersement.

The vast majority of those present left peacefully after the announcement of the curfew.

5 adults and 4 juvenile were arrested stemming from the fights that took place.

One police vehicle was vandalized, but there were no significant injuries or property damage reported.

The curfew was imposed from 9:00pm (5/21) to 5:00am (5/22).
