At least 130 music fans were arrested and more than 30 injured after a riot broke out at a one-day festival headlined by Cypress Hill and Stone Temple Pilots in BOSTON on Saturday (May 28).

Local radio station WBCN had organised the 12-hour concert, which attracted more than 50,000 people. According to reports, most of the injuries were for minor bruising . Two police officers were hurt when they tried to stop 700 fans forcing their way through barriers.

The trouble is believed to have kicked off when local metal group Godsmack took the stage and police tried to control fans by using pepper spray and batons, according to eyewitness reports.
