It got real at Metlife Stadium
Last night’s Summer Jam 2015 concert had various highlights throughout the night. Whether it was Kendrick Lamar bringing out Welven The Great from Instagram, to Lil Kim, Terror Squad, Wu-Tang, Red and Meth all hitting the stage as surprise guests as well. But outside the stadium it was a different story.
Reports have surfaced that tear gas grenades were fired at the concert goers who were seen throwing bottles at police (one was injured) and trying to illegally enter the sold-out show. Fans could be seen jumping fences and a few people were arrested in the riots.
New Jersey Police issued a statement on the incidents:
“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.”
