An unruly mob can be seen in a now-viral video ransacking a Wawa convenience store in Philadelphia.
After destroying the inside of the store, the mob is seen marching into the parking lot, where some began a fistfight.
On Saturday night, a crowd of out-of-control youths made their way into the store on Roosevelt Boulevard at Tyson Avenue in Philadelphia’s northeast neighborhood of Mayfair.
Video captured shows the crowd of lawbreakers stealing items and knocking over shelves.
During the midst of the chaos, one individual can be heard asking an employee “Are y’all making the sandwiches, or y’all gonna keep recording?”
The chaos of the mob caused an employee to walk out of his job.
The original video was posted to Facebook by an alleged Wawa employee who recorded the incident while working at the deli counter.
Since then, the video was posted on Twitter, where it gained 800,000 views in less than 12 hours.

The Philadelphia Police Department has still not commented on the incident.
And this isn’t the first occurrence, as multiple other Wawa locations have been shut down earlier this month due to people ransacking the stores.
KYW-TV reporter Joe Holden wrote on Twitter, “They hit a number of Wawa locations — and police tell me most of their Center City locations have since shut down. I checked on two stores — they were closed. Police say an unknown number of juveniles were taken into custody.”
“Closed early due to police activity”
Philadelphia Police tell me dozens of juveniles were ransacking convenience stores across Center City (nothing to do with Made in Amercia, according to police sources). @JoeHoldenCBS3 (1 / ) pic.twitter.com/Kd8uvoz4ls— Joe Holden (@JoeHoldenCBS3) September 4, 2022
