Last day of school chaos in the city centre as kids run riot, egg cops and stop trams

There were scenes of chaos in Manchester city centre this afternoon as hundreds of school kids ran riot.
Scores of teenagers descended on the Market Street and Piccadilly Gardens after finishing school for the summer. But what should have been a cause for joyous celebration soon turned sour as police officers were pelted with eggs and milkshake.
As youths in school uniforms ran amok in Piccadilly Gardens, shops were forced to lock their doors and tram services were brought to a crawl. A tactical aid unit was drafted in to help control the mayhem, which reportedly started after a group of teens was asked to leave the food court at the Arndale shopping centre at about 2.30pm.

In an attempt to finally persuade the group to move on, police announced that a dispersal order had been put in place shortly after 5pm. Officers warned those gathered that they 'may be arrested' if they refused to move when asked.
Manchester councillor Pat Karney slammed the 'disgraceful behaviour' of those involved and warned that action would be taken.
“It is just disgraceful," he said. "Hundreds of youngsters - we know it is the last day of school, and we have all been there and loved it -
