The 19-year-old woman said that six men followed her to the toilet of the Armory, punched and kicked her. They stole items from her purse. She sustained minor injuries to her face and head because of the attack.
After the police responded to the woman, after a few minutes, the cops found a 23-year-old man with stab wounds as he left also the Armory. After five minutes, police sent to the emergency room a 17-year-old also with a stab wound as a result of a big fight in the Armory.
Three males ages 28, 16 and 22 also sought treatment at the emergency room, likewise with knife wounds sustained during the concert.
Most of the victims were brought to the Albany Medical Center Hospital and all of them are expected to survive.
No arrest had been made by police as of Saturday afternoon, and the department added they were unsure if the attacks were related, said Albany Police spokesman Steven Smith Jr.
Armory General Manager Michael Corts said in a statement on Saturday that the armory regrets that the concert was marred by the incidents and it was deeply disturbed.
"While the majority of patrons come to the arena to enjoy a show, there are the few who come to the show with malicious intentions and clearly to ruin the experience for those who attend," Corts said.
This is not the first time that an event in the armory was disturbed. In October 2012, a fight ensued among people lining up for a foam party in the armory. During the incident, seven people were arrested and three cops were injured.
