Brawl at Minnesota State Fair triggers mass crowd panic, exodus, and early closure

St. Paul, Minn. (Fox 9) - A brawl in the Midway section of the Minnesota State Fair on Saturday night and the resulting police response triggered a mass panic and chaotic crowd rush out of the area, resulting in the early closure of the fairgrounds.

 

Witnesses described seeing a fight involving multiple people at Cafe Caribe in the Midway, with police moving quickly to break it up.

Ali Jo says she was in Cafe Caribe when she saw a commotion and looked over to see a group of about three people fighting. As people started to run, she noticed her eyes burning. She believes it was tear gas, though says an officer later told her it was pepper spray.

 

"A fog overtook the intersection and you could hear echoes of people coughing and gagging, everyone was covering their nose and mouth with their shirts and sweatshirts." she told FOX 9.
