Footage has emerged of police using tear gas on fans outside Kendrick Lamar’s MetLife show.
According to the New Jersey State Police riots erupted outside Hot 97’s Summer Jam show at MetLife stadium. The bill included Kendrick Lamar, Chris Brown and a host of other artists.
On their Facebook page the Police stated that “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.”
