Hooky and hooks.
Several brawls broke out during a high school senior skip day party at Jones Beach State Park on Thursday, forcing local police to disperse the group with a helicopter and shutting down the beach as tempers flared along with the temperature.
A large group of youths from several high schools in Nassau County and Queens took over the popular Wantagh, Long Island, waterfront at 3 p.m. and spread out across the sand to enjoy the beautiful weather, News 12 Long Island reported, citing local officials.
The fun turned to fury later in the day when fists started to fly with several physical altercations breaking out in different pockets of the horde of high schoolers, the report stated.
Video posted to social media showed a Nassau County police helicopter dramatically hovering over the beach, sending revelers scrambling for the boardwalk as seagulls and sand kicked up in the air.
Representatives for the Nassau County Police Department and Jones Beach State Park did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
