A woman is accused of starting a fight over a TikTok video that left two teen girls stabbed and others injured, Utah police told multiple news outlets.
Mia Hansen, 20, was arrested following the July 30 confrontation in Bountiful, Utah, KTVX reported.
The fight started when Hansen confronted a group of people about a TikTok video that she found “disparaging” to her, the KSL-TV reported
“There was some conversation by social media and texting and ultimately they agreed to meet and talk this out,” Bountiful Assistant Police Chief Dave Edwards told the news outlet.
When the group met at a parking lot at the Bountiful “B,” Hansen pulled out a knife, police told KSTU. The fight turned physical when witnesses tried to get the knife from her, the outlet reported.
The fight ended in the stabbing of two teenage girls while others were left with minor injuries, police told McClatchy News.
After the stabbing, the woman told a friend to throw the knife in a dumpster, the Standard-Examiner reported.
But the following day, Hansen got the knife, cleaned it and put it in her car trunk where police later discovered the weapon along with marijuana, a bottle of vodka and drug paraphernalia, the outlet reported.
She was arrested on numerous charges, including aggravated assault, tampering with a witness, obstructing justice, unlawful purchase, possession, consumption by minor, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, open container and possession of cigars, cigarettes and tobacco by a minor.
She is being held without bail.
Bountiful is about 10 miles north of Salt Lake City.
