Saturday’s oversold festival was meant to run from 12 p.m. to 1 a.m. but hit capacity at 10 p.m., causing the fire marshal and local law enforcement to crack down and enforce barriers. People who left the venue and returned were not allowed to come back inside, either.

According to NBC Los Angeles, disturbances broke out around the will call window and in the street, and an LA County Sheriff’s Department officer was assaulted.
