NewYork (UPI) – Three persons were injured and two were arrested early Saturday when a teenage audience at a folk rock concert suddenly charged the stage.
Police said about 200 teenagers in a capacity audience of 1,000 listening to a group called ‘The Doors’ began breaking up the wooden chairs at the Singer Bowl in Flushing Meadows Park, Queens.
As the group was completing the last two numbers the teenagers ran for the stage, forcing the musicians to retreat, leaving their equipment behind. A witness said students armed with pieces of chairs began smashing the equipment before guards could stop them.
