“These people were wildin out at the Edison Mall in Fort Myers dudes hitting girls girls hitting dudes babies getting hit that was crazy only in Fort Myers,” Milburn posted on Facebook.

The video shows a group of people punching and kicking one another. One woman, pushing a child in a stroller, appears to kick another woman in the head while she was unable to get up.

The video prompted Fort Myers-based WFTX to reach out to mall management to see if there were plans to increase security, WTMJ radio reported. Local police announced that officers responded to the scene and interviewed the alleged victims and filed a simple battery report. The investigation is still underway.

How exactly will the Facebook video play into the police investigation? Will social media catch the perpetrators?
