Police say the 18-year-old used a bullhorn to scream profanities at the police and incite the crowd of spectators, who later surrounded the police and threw things at them.
An 18-year-old has been arrested in connection with chaos that erupted on the streets of Old City earlier this month. Around 10 p.m. crowds began to gather, blocking traffic in all directions as hundreds of people formed a large circle to watch drag racing, car tricks and fireworks that were set off.
According to officials, Joseph Vannauker, 18, was seen using a bullhorn to scream profanities at the police and incite the crowd of spectators. Police say officers then responded to 911 calls about drag racing and crowds gathered on the 1900 block of E. Sedgley Street.
