Around 120 fans were arrested last Wednesday (January 27) in Santiago when hundreds of ticketless fans attempted to storm a Metallica concert.
The rockers were playing a gig at the Club Hipico venue in Santiago when the incident occurred. Carabineros – military officials – used water sprays to keep fans back. This led to roughly 120 fans being arrested, while one police officer was injured, reports the Latin American Herald Tribune.

Police said offences including disorderly conduct, drug possession and drinking in public had resulted in the arrests.
