well, I really don't know exactly what happened except that people were starting answer and going in a pie truck type of vehicle, drove up, several people, costume, people got out and dropped pie all over the sidewalk, started throwing pie indiscriminately at passers by. Was anybody injured?

00:00:21.010 - 00:00:33.920

Not to my knowledge. You know what the reason for all of this was? I have no idea. I have no idea that we have made several arrests for disturbing the peace and well, try to yeah, figure out what it is when things calm down right now.
