KERUSUHAN meletus di luar konser rahasia Kanye West di New York City setelah ribuan fans yang kecewa berat berkerumun turun di tempat konser - memaksa para petugas untuk membatalkan acara tersebut dan membutuhkan puluhan petugas polisi untuk membubarkan kerumunan massa.
Kanye terdengar meminta Walikota Bill de Blasio untuk menutup blok dalam sebuah video Snapchat yang diunduh oleh istri Kim Kardashian Senin pagi setelah beberapa orang terinjak-injak dalam kepanikan di luar lokasi pertunjukan.
Dengan tidak ada ruang untuk bergerak, jalan di East Village, Manhattan tersumbat dengan kerumunan orang sampai ke depan kerumunan sekitar Webster Hall, dan beberapa fans terjebak dalam kekacauan yang mengklaim mereka disemprot cairan pedas.
Satuan polisi New York (NYPD) melalui pernyataan resminya mengatakan: 'Karena banyak orang yang berkumpul di luar acara itu kemudian diputuskan bahwa untuk keselamatan bagi semua orang maka pertunjukan dibatalkan."
Salah satu penggemar mengunggah foto dari Kanye dan menulis di Twitter bahwa ia berlari setelah dia berada di 14th Street, sementara seorang mahasiswa di asrama terdekat berbagi video yang menunjukkan massa berteriak mengejar mobil, yang dikawal mobil pengawal di depan dan di belakangnya, seperti dilansir MailOnline.
CHAOS ERUPTED outside Kanye West's secret concert in New York City after thousands of desperate fans descended on the venue - forcing officials to cancel the event and requiring dozens of police officers to disperse the crowd.
Kanye was heard asking for Mayor Bill de Blasio to shut down the block in a Snapchat video taken by wife Kim Kardashian early Monday morning after some people were trampled in a stampede outside the gig.
With no room to move, the street in Manhattan's East Village was clogged with people charging to get to the front of the swarm around Webster Hall, and some fans caught in the mayhem claimed they were pepper sprayed.
NYPD said in a statement: 'Due to the large crowd that gathered outside of the event it was determined that for the safety for all those involved the performance would be canceled.'
One fan posted photos of Kanye and wrote on Twitter that she ran after him on 14th Street, while a student in a nearby dorm shared wild video that showed the screaming mob chasing the car, which had security vehicles in front of and behind it.
