TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) β Police say an Arizona music festival was held without problems Sunday, a day after several people were injured when a crowd rushed a stage.
Tempe police said early Monday that the concert, which listed Kanye West as a featured performer, went off as planned.
Tempe Police Sgt. Damon DeSpain said earlier Sunday that the department worked with other emergency responders and the event promoter to prevent a repeat of Saturday night at the Summer Ends Music Festival.
Witnesses said a horde of revelers pushed toward the stage during a reggae performance, and some people got stomped or couldn’t breathe.
Nine people were taken to a nearby hospital after the incident around 7 p.m. at Tempe Beach Park, city fire officials told KNXV-TV (http://bit.ly/1OZaFFb).
One person was transported to a hospital from the concert in serious condition with a head injury. Tempe fire officials said two juveniles also were taken to a hospital in serious condition.
