What should have been a normal concert turned into a mess outside of MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday, June 7, where Hot 97's Summer Jam 2015 concert was being held.
Apparently there were people without tickets who tried to force their way inside the sold out stadium.
What resulted was rioting as fights broke out, bottles were thrown at police and a cop car was vandalized. Cops responded with pepper spray. One officer reportedly was injured.
New Jersey State Police released a statement Sunday night via WABC saying,
"This evening, security personnel at one of the entrance gates to MetLife Stadium were confronted by crowds attempting to illegally enter the sold out Summer Jam concert by climbing over fences and forcing their way through security personnel. The gates have been shut and troopers on site have called for assistance from several nearby stations to help maintain order.Troopers and stadium security officials are insisting that all people outside of the gates depart the MetLife grounds to avoid congestion when the concert lets out. There is no number of arrests available at this time."
Some fans who legitimately bought tickets never made it inside the event bcause of the chaos. Hot 97 said they would get full refunds.
