At a recent Metallica concert in Chile, around 120 people were arrested and a policeman was injured when a large number of fans who did not have tickets attempted to force their way into the show. There have been a number of charges pressed including drug possession, disorderly conduct and drinking in public.

“A group of people tried to enter without tickets and Carabineros (militarized police) had to act, launching water,” Col. Miguel Angel Castro said.

The Metallica fans will meet their fate on Wednesday when prosecutors decide what should be done about the incident and those involved.
