Police say between 200 and 300 people joined a fight that began inside Raleigh mall.

Raleigh Police Department spokesman Jim Sughrue said Sunday the gang-related brawl began inside Triangle Town Center Mall on Saturday night. Off-duty officers working at the mall requested assistance from the Wake County Sheriff’s Office and the N.C.Highway Patrol.

Sughrue said the melee began inside the mall and continued outside. A 15-year-old was stabbed outside the mall. He was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. A police officer was also injured with a cut to his knee.

Sughrue said eight people were arrested on charges that include felony riot, assault on a law enforcement officer and disorderly conduct. He did not have the names of those arrested.
