The mayhem erupted Tuesday at Narragansett Town Beach in Rhode Island before more disorder broke out about 20 miles away at Second Beach in Middletown.

Police said the stabbing was reported just after 3 pm at Narragansett Town Beach.

Officers rushed to the popular summer retreat and found three people suffering from minor stab wounds.

The victims were treated by first responders before being taken to local hospitals.

Police have not named a suspect or revealed what sparked the stabbing.

It was not immediately clear whether the victims knew each other.

Officials have also not said whether the attack was random.

“Due to the chaos on scene with hundreds of people attempting to leave the beach at the same time, several other small disturbances broke out,” Narragansett Police Chief Kyle Rekas said.

Two adults were arrested as police tried to restore order.

They were charged with simple assault, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and obstruction of justice.

Police said the two people were not believed to be connected to the stabbings.

The beach chaos came as another massive crowd overwhelmed Second Beach in Middletown, just under 20 miles from Narragansett.

Police said about 1,200 teens descended on the Sachuest Bay beach around 12:45pm and that the crowd was initially peaceful.

But the scene escalated after one beachgoer allegedly began harassing a large group.

As the man was detained, police said a second man began assaulting officers, and the confrontation caused the larger crowd to spiral out of control.

Police deployed pepper spray to break up the chaos and disperse the teens.

“I think it’s pretty crazy not much happens around here,” witness Connor Defernites told WJAR.

“Pretty crazy that something like that happens here, it’s not typical that something like that happens.”

Another beachgoer said a large fight erupted as police cleared the area and several people between the ages of 17 and 19 were arrested.

They were charged with disorderly conduct and obstructing an officer.

“There was a lot of blood,” the witness told the outlet.

One of those arrested was identified as Ronan Pinkham, 18, from Massachusetts, who police said struck a Newport officer with his car in the parking lot while trying to flee.

Pinkham allegedly admitted to officers that he had been driving under the influence and was charged with felony assault and DUI.

Crowds also swarmed Pier Village in Long Branch, New Jersey, on Tuesday night, where fights broke out and teens were seen jumping on cars.

Police from multiple nearby towns, including Deal and Eatontown, rushed in to help control the scene.

Long Branch officials were forced to impose an 8pm curfew days before Memorial Day weekend even began.

The Jersey Shore hotspot has previously dealt with so-called “pop-up” parties, where hundreds of people arrive unannounced.

Local officials have been trying to crack down on the gatherings after repeated concerns over crowds and violence.

Last year, a man was shot and killed at a concert in Pier Village.

Tuesday’s disorder came before Memorial Day weekend, widely seen as the unofficial start of the summer shore season.

The warm weather had already drawn large crowds to beaches up and down New Jersey.

Even NJ Transit was affected, with a North Jersey Coast Line train delayed by up to 45 minutes because of police activity in Long Branch.
