Ocean City

The pounding surf also caused more than 100 feet of the Santa Cruz Wharf to collapse Monday afternoon, tossing a city employee and two contractors into the cold ocean, city officials said during a news conference.

Ocean City endured its second straight year of disturbances during Memorial Day weekend, including the stabbing of a 15-year-old boy who is recovering from non-life-threatening wounds in a case that remains unsolved.

Mayor Jay Gillian, in a note to residents posted Friday on the city’s website, said Ocean City police brought 23 teens into the police station for fights, shoplifting and other infractions.

“The teens involved in these fights were known to each other, and came to Ocean City with the intent of causing harm to each other,” Gillian said.

Ocean City Mayor Jay Gillian said his city has had enough of rowdy young people bent on causing trouble.
