Hundreds of schoolchildren stormed a UK shopping centre, causing mayhem as security guards struggled to contain the antisocial chaos.
Around 300 children, some of them still wearing their school uniform, were seen rampaging through a shopping centre in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.
Footage of the mayhem posted on Snapchat showed a security guard bodyslam a child to the floor, before a crowd of youths surrounded him.
In another clip a boy was seen on the floor surrounded by security staff.

In other footage security guards and police officers were seen engaging in a standoff with the crowd, before the yobs started pushing and shoving.
Thames Valley Police issued a Section 34 dispersal order following the events.
A section 34 order gives police the power to direct a person to leave a specified area and not to return for up to 48 hours.
The force said: "A dispersal order is in place in central Milton Keynes following an incident of antisocial behaviour involving around 300 children. The order is in place until midnight."

Extra officers were deployed to locate the individuals, who were spraying graffiti on the walls in the Arndale Shopping Centre and on the windows outside.
A paramedic was pushed off his bike by one of a large group “engaging in anti-social behaviour" at around 3.45pm but he was left uninjured.
According to Greater Manchester Police, the group then made their way across the tram tracks at Exchange Square and caused disruption before entering the Arndale Centre.
Individuals were later found to be spraying the walls of the Arndale Centre and also on windows outside.
