Teenage boy arrested in viral ‘door kick challenge’

A 14-year-old teenage boy was arrested after a criminal damage report at a residence in northeast Phoenix, according to a Phoenix Police news release Thursday.

According to the release, at approximately 6:30 a.m. on Sept. 12, officers responded to a criminal damage report at a residence near 44th St. and Thunderbird Rd.

Two teenage boys arrived in a red Ford truck, kicked in the front doors and caused an estimated $10,000 in damage before fleeing. Investigators believe this offense is connected to a viral social media trend known as the “door kick challenge.”
