TikTok Challenge Involves Storming Scientology Buildings
Dozens of teenagers entered the Midtown Scientology Center to perform a TikTok speed running stunt. A security guard suffered minor injuries during the incident. The event occurred in New York City. Approximately 50 masked youths entered a church near West 46th Street and Times Square through a locked side door. The group rampaged through the facility, breaking chairs and tables and throwing books. One security guard sustained a minor leg injury from being kicked. The church reported that one teenager used a racial slur against a staff member. Authorities believe the incident is linked to a viral TikTok trend originating in Los Angeles. Authorities have identified the incidents as organized trespasses into religious and public information facilities.
