The Chicago Police Department responded to a downtown teen riot by encouraging visitors to "enjoy everything the city has to offer."
 

"Everyone is welcome and encouraged to enjoy all that Chicago has to offer including the popular downtown area," the department said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital Sunday in the aftermath of a "Teen Takeover" promoted on social media that sent tourists running for cover.

The event saw hundreds of teens descend on downtown Chicago, where they vandalized cars and physically assaulted tourists.

The Chicago PD said "criminal activity will never be tolerated" in the city, with the havoc coming less than a year after a separate "Teen Takeover" of the city's most popular tourist areas.
