UPDATE: A concert barrier fell down in the front and people started screaming, which spooked the rest of the concert goers. NYPD and concert security has regained control. Paramedics are responding.

This field was full before the chaos erupted. General Admission section is all but empty as remaining concert goers enter the what became mostly vacant VIP sections.pic.twitter.com/eG7DLrQDqf

UPDATE: Just spoke with Citi grounds manager. He says that NYPD and Citi security is not letting anyone who left the concert back in for security reasons, which explains the extremely low attendance. The only people still in the park are the people who never left.

Very true! Unfortunately there were numerous injuries from the stampede as many fell and were ran over by others fleeing the area, but no significant injuries and no one was acting with ill intent, as you mentioned!

Thank you for posting this unbiased view! I'd say the same as the other person with you, "I'm not running if I dont know what's going on"

With all due respect me and my friends and my fiancé were sitting on the ground and we turned around and there’s a WAVE of 100+ people running at us. Not sure what pen this video was from but it was madness where we were. We had to run.
