2 Dozen Injured at Eminem Concert

WASHINGTON (Eminem fans Website) - More than two dozen people were injured - most of them slightly - in a mosh pit stampede while rapper Eminem was performing Saturday night at RFK Stadium, officials said.

One man suffered a heart attack during the melee and was taken to a local hospital, District of Columbia fire spokesman Alan Etter said. His condition was unavailable.

Four others were taken to area hospitals with injuries not considered to be life-threatening, he said. The rest were treated at the scene for less serious injuries.
"There were fights and a lot of pushing and shoving," said Brent Turner, 17, of Damascus, Md., who said he witnessed the disturbance.

The two-day concert sponsored by a Maryland radio station included a number of acts on several stages. Eminem resumed his performance after a brief delay, while police calmed the crowd, and the concert was to continue Sunday as planned.
