Berlin's Gone Wild: Free Show by Samra Turns Chaotic - 13 Gets Hurt
Chaotic free concert leads to 13 injuries. - Disorderly Free Concert Results in 13 Injuries
You know what they say, all's fair in love and hip-hop! But hey, not so much when it comes to personal safety at a concert, right? That’s exactly what happened at a jam-packed free show by Berlin-based rapper Samra in a shopping passage, leaving 13 folks wounded. Three of ’em got some serious fractures and needed hospitalization, while eight others, though shaken, managed to muddle through with lighter injuries. Two individuals with minor injuries were fortunate enough to not need medical attention.
Now, here’s a twist: the police reported a blimey incident during Samra's performance! Word on the street is, a sneaky bugger decided to douse the happy crowd with pepper spray. Of course, a ruckus erupted!
Feeling rather sheepish about the entire mess, our beloved artist Samra took to Instagram to express his sorrow. Going all emo, he wrote, "Shout-out to everyone who rolled up! We had a blast! But just now, I got yanked out of the zone, learned that some bozo sprayed pepper spray into the crowd. That’s utterly depressing - a disgusting, seedy move. I hope no one got hurt." Aw, isn't Samra a sweetheart?!
Free-for-all in Berlin: Thousands Fill Atrium
According to a Berlin radio station, the show kicked off at 4:00 PM. Seems like word got around faster than a wildfire since around 2,000 to 3,000 people showed up instead of the expected 700. Our man Samra, who's no stranger to the Top Ten, grew up and busted records in Berlin with billions of streams to his name, never saw this one coming.
Videos circulating on social media shove postcards of dense crowds in the shopping center's atrium, with folks pressing up against the stage harder than a Barnum & Bailey big top. The police are currently looking into what, exactly, went down in the unruly crowd and why the brawl broke out.
Firefighters and Po-Po to the Rescue in Berlin
The fire department received an emergency call at 4:25 PM, reporting a mass casualty incident (minimum of five injured folks). Multiple ambulances were lined up like ducks in a row alongside the shopping center, and a grand total of 53 emergency responders were on the scene.
At first, four severely injured people were reported. However, while we were all out here getting our popcorn for the weekend, the fire department updated the count on Sunday: three severely injured and ten lightly injured folks. To top it off, five people received treatment from the fire department but had no injuries to speak of.
The police are on the case, investigating with suspected dangerous bodily harm in mind. Once the blasted show was over, the chaos in the shopping passage quickly subsided, as the police announced on Twitter.
