The hoodlums were reported to have shot severally in the air to scare the residents before the arrival of the JTF members who attempted to disperse the hoodlums.
This, however, resulted in a clash between the two groups before the arrival of Security operatives who succeeded in averting what would have been a bloody incident.
Law and order has now been restored in the area.
