Three people were arrested and 6 people were injured at the audition for America’s Next Top Model today in Manhattan according to WCBS.
Officials say the chaos Saturday afternoon, involving hundreds of people outside the Park Central New York hotel, was prompted by a smoking car nearby that caused someone to yell “fire,” sparking a model stampede at the Midtown hotel.
Mere moments later, someone yelled about a man with a gun, leading to more running and screaming chaos. The panic left the street outside the hotel littered with the would-be models’ shoes and clothing, according to news reports.
Of the 6 injured, only two were hospitalized and all the injuries were considered to be minor. The auditions were cancelled for the day and no word yet when they would be rescheduled.
