Chaos at Staten Island Mall, Panicked Crowds Flee

Chaos broke out at the Staten Island Mall on Sunday afternoon as panicked crowds fled the building amid a large police presence. 

Officers responded to an altercation inside the Primark store, the NYPD said. The fight was over by the time police arrived. 

Police originally said one person had been taken into custody, but later said that no one was arrested and they weren't looking for any suspects. 

The mall said it was an "isolated incident inside a store between individuals who knew each other," according to Jim Easly, senior general manager. 

Police said it wasn't an active shooter situation. 

Firefighters said one person was taken to Staten Island University North Hospital for an undisclosed injury. But police said no one was hurt. It wasn't immediately clear what caused this discrepancy. 

Dalia Rose said she was about to buy some food when she saw people get up from the tables and start to run. 

She said she grabbed her daughter by the hand and started to "run like crazy," along with other people. 

Video from the scene showed several police vehicles in the parking lot and a helicopter flying overhead. 

The NYPD tweeted that it was a "minor incident" and everything was "back to normal."
