NBC New York – Police wouldn’t say how many people were arrested at the event as photos and video on Twitter and Instagram showed large crowds, trash-strewn streets and barricades overturned in the stadium’s parking lot as helicopters flew overhead. Officers in riot gear and holding pepper spray stood in groups near the stadium’s entrance.
In a statement New Jersey State Police said crowds were attempting to illegally enter the sold out concert by climbing over fences and forcing their way through security personnel. The gates to the stadium were shut and troopers were called in to help maintain order, police said. (link)
