(WABC) — Police were called to the Queens Center Mall Friday after a rap star’s planned appearance led to an unruly crowd that some described as a stampede.
Witnesses say the rapper A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, whose real name is Julius Dubose, was scheduled to stop by the Puma store on the third floor for a wrist band-only event, drawing a large crowd that apparently got out of hand.
Authorities say more people showed up than were allowed to enter, which led to pushing and fighting. The event was canceled as a result.
