Witnesses told CBS2 they saw people running and assumed it could be something much worse.

"We were at Starbucks and then suddenly there was, like, a stampede, and then we look out the window and there's probably like dozens of people, not dozens, like, maybe a hundred, they're, like, running through the mall ...

Police say one person is in custody.

Another person was injured and treated.

There's no word on what led to the fight.
