Teens Storm Scientology Church in New York Amid Viral 'Speed Running' Trend
A group of youths forcibly entered a Scientology church in New York, marking the latest incident in a series of 'speed running' events that have gained traction on social media. The incident occurred at the Church of Scientology on West 36th Street in Manhattan, where the group broke through a locked door, causing property damage and injuring a staff member. The church described the event as a coordinated act involving forced entry and physical aggression. This trend, which has been popularized on platforms like TikTok, involves individuals rushing into religious and public facilities for social media attention. The church has condemned these actions, emphasizing that their facilities are meant to be peaceful spaces for worship and not targets for viral stunts. No arrests have been made, and the church is cooperating with the New York police department in their investigation.
