Violence Breaks Out After Sydney Rap Show

Several concertgoers were left with minor injuries after a brawl broke out following last night's sold-out gig for US rappers YG and Ty Dolla $ign at Sydney's Enmore Theatre.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the fight erupted as attendees were leaving the Enmore about 11pm, with Public Order and Riot Squad officers on-hand for crowd control duties. According to a police report, more than 2000 fans were dispersed from the surrounds — though others, such as the Daily Telegraph, report that the number involved in the brawl itself was much lower, about 200 or so — as it became clear several punters required treatment for minor injuries as a result of the violence.

Although earlier reports indicated that an alleged indecent assault against a 15-year-old girl had taken place during the brawl, the newly released police report indicates it was a separate incident from earlier in the evening, with crowd control officers approached by the girl some time after 7pm. Police have since arrested and charged a 24-year-old man over the incident; he will appear in Newtown Local Court today.

The Enmore show was the last in Ty Dolla $ign's maiden tour of Australia, which had previously visited Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne.
