Overcrowded Federal Hill Club Shut Down After Multiple Police Units Called to Break Up Fight

Police responded to Twelve 21 Restaurant and Lounge at 248 Atwells Avenue for a report of a large public disturbance; multiple people were arrested.

It marks the latest public safety response required on Federal Hill after a motorcycle rider had a trash can thrown at him during the feast celebration earlier this month.
