Police have made their first arrest following an investigation into a wild shopping centre brawl involving teenagers.
Video of the incident went viral earlier this week after it revealed two mums heroically stepped in to stop the altercation.
On Wednesday at 3pm, a group of up to six people were filmed causing a stir at Tree Plaza after they exchanged heated words and came to blows with one another.
Retail workers Michelle Hanna, 51, and Joanna Cheetham, 55, ignored their personal safety and bravely went in to break-up the fight with two local men.
They have since been hailed as heroes on social media after footage of them taking actions against the “ratbags” received universal praise, even drawing attention from the Premier’s office.
Police attended the scene and identified a number of people potentially involved in the brawl.
Following an investigation, a 19-year-old Hope Valley man was arrested and has been charged with use/threaten unlawful violence.
He has been bailed to appear at the Adelaide Magistrates Court in February.
SA Police thanked members of the public who assisted during the incident.
Investigations are continuing and anyone with information that may assist is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000 or online – you can remain anonymous.
