Albany PD helps disperse crowd at UAlbany concert

ALBANY, B.Y. (NEWS10) -- According to the Albany Police Department, it was called to assist University Police with crowd control on Sunday during a concert on the University at Albany campus. This followed the outdoor concert reaching capacity halfway through the scheduled time and a physical confrontation between some attendees, said a university representative.

The university representative told NEWS10 that would-be attendees who were not let into the concert due to its reaching capacity began jumping and taking down the fences, prompting the university and event organizers to end the concert. This is when a fight allegedly broke out between attendees and University Police requested APD assistance in crowd control.

There were no injuries reported, no force used by police for crowd dispersal, and no arrests made, according to the UAlbany representative. The investigation into what happened is active and ongoing.
