Denver mall evacuated as brawls break out at US shopping centres

Police said they suspect postings on social media drew more people to the site.

US police have evacuated a suburban shopping centre in Colorado after the largest in a series of brawls that disrupted post-Christmas shopping around the US.

The trouble at the Town Centre mall in Aurora, Denver, was sparked when an arrest led to hundreds of young people converging on the site, with several fights breaking out, police said.
