An audition for the reality show, America’s Next Top Model began without proper planning and ended in a stampede that several people hospitalized and three people arrested.
Chaos erupted yesterday outside the Park Central Hotel in Manhattan when an overheating car pulled over near the front of the crowd of wait-weary auditioners and someone shouted, “It’s a bomb!”
According to the NY Daily News, the barricade that was retaining the women fell as the women scrambled to get away from the smoking car. People began to fall on one another, which only increased the panic. In the end two people were rushed to New York – Presbeterian Hospital, and several people were treated for their injuries at the scene.
