The Ray Ban x Boiler Room Weekender was shut down by police early Sunday morning, after reports of pepper spray being used on partygoers and one woman being arrested.
Speaking with Thump on the events that unfolded, a spokesperson from Boiler Room said “We don’t have the exact details of what transpired, but for the safety of all our artists and guests we had to shut down.”
One of the punters revealed insight into the events of the evening, explaining that the woman who was handcuffed was smoking weed outside the GHE2OGOTH1K stage.
“People were just like screaming, moving, pushing the officers almost,” the witness said. “And then her friend opened up the cop car door and the cop just freaked out, like ‘What the fuck, you can’t open the cop car door.’”
Artists and attendees took to social media to give their run down of what unfolded during the police raid, with most explaining that the police were attacking attendees.
