Riots At IRON MAIDEN Concert In Bogotá

March 7, 2009

ColombiaReports.com reports that IRON MAIDEN's concert in Bogotá, Colombia on Saturday (March 7) became the scene of heavy unrest and riots.

Trouble started when a group of fans climbed the fence that separated the VIP area from the general public, and reportedly managed to get as close as 30 meters from the stage.

Later on, a number of people who didn't have tickets to the concert began causing trouble in the area around the Parque Simón Bolivar, where the show was being held.

A large group of heavy metal fans clashed with police, resulting in several arrests. However, a City TV camera crew managed to get footage of some of the arrested troublemakers escaping from police.
