Around 50 people, most of whom were underage, were removed from a Snoop Dogg concert in New York with alcohol poisoning this week.

 

Eleven gig goers were taken to various hospitals in the surrounding area, with one young man getting so drunk that he collapsed and broke his nose when hitting the ground, according to Page Six.

 

Sources at the scene said that a number of teenagers were drinking vodka from water bottles in both the toilets and the car park of the venue, but after three youngsters were taking to hospital within 20 minutes of each other, organisers moved to close to bathrooms and shift everybody inside.

 

There were also four arrests made for possession of marijuana at the concert.

 

Police were forced to make a number of calls to parents of those affected, forcing them to come and collect those that were not being taken to jail.

 

However, this is the second serious incident at a Snoop Dogg concert in the space of a week as 42 people were injured last Friday in New Jersey when a railing collapsed.
