Things got ugly at a concert outside St. John's Thursday night, when the headline performer didn't show up.
New York-based hip-hop performer Nas was scheduled to play in Torbay for a crowd of several hundred young people.
But the audience rebelled when it became clear after the end of opening act Kardinal Offishall's set that Nas would not be appearing.
"The crowd [was] getting out of control," CBC News reporter Zach Goudie said.
"By 10:30, Nas still hadn't taken the stage, and it started to become obvious he wasn't coming. There was a lot of beer can throwing … and very quickly the police were called in by security," said Goudie, who added police took away at least three people in handcuffs.
Many of the people in the audience lined up to demand refunds, Goudie said.
