Merseyside Police has since confirmed a 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of affray.
The arrest is part of a wider crackdown by police on anti social behaviour in the area as some people reported avoiding the town centre altogether due to fear.
This has seen increased visible police patrols around the town centre.
