Videos showing a rowdy Diwali celebration at a Mississauga parking lot are grabbing attention online for the second year in a row.
One of the clips posted to TikTok shows hundreds of people gathered at Westwood Square Mall in Mississauga on Sunday, waving flags with fireworks heard going off in the background.
In another video, two groups of people appear to be throwing trash and refuse at each other before several police officers can be seen approaching one of the groups.
I see the police employed the latest in crowd control techniques.
Disgusting lack of preparedness on the part of Westwood Square and extremely poor response by Peel Regional Police. Having a local community police station in the plaza has done nothing to improve life for residents of Malton. Major disappointment all around. https://t.co/ubN5uQt2be
