Pepper Spray Against The Crowd Of The Hot 97 Summer Jam

BHR Hollywood Reports.....New Jersey State Police blocking gates outside of the Hot 97 Summer Jam 2015 at MetLife Stadium had bottles thrown at them by angry people in the crowd who were trying to get inside -- some without tickets -- and they later used tear gas to try to disperse them, according to officials.

 The disruption began when tickets were sold out and some attempted to climb the stadium’s gate to enter the festival.

 The gate was eventually shut down around 7 p.m. and some ticketholders were not allowed entry.

This caused a stir as individuals who paid up to $600 each for a ticket became furious over the gate being shut down.

Hundreds of police officers in riot gear arrived at the stadium and pepper sprayed the crowd that gathered outside.

 They also used a sound generator to produce a screeching sound to irritate those in the vicinity of the noise. Some attendees threw trash and other debris at officers.

There were numerous arrests, and the outside of MetLife Stadium was littered with trash and overturned garbage cans.

Artists Kendrick Lamar, Chris Brown, Trey Songz and Big Sean were all scheduled to play at the event, billed as "the hottest hip hop event of the year."
