Screaming, ‘out-of-control’ Bieber fans alarm Barclays neighbors
Hundreds of screaming young fans of pop star Justin Bieber gathered on the streets and sidewalks near Barclays Center on Monday night before the show and chased a tour bus they believed had Bieber in it down residential Dean Street, reports Peter Krashes of the Dean Street Block Association on the community input website Atlantic Yards Watch.
Krashes posted videos of the night’s action, which shows crowds of cell phone-waving youngsters stampeding down sidewalks and across intersections while ignoring orders of police.
“The fans were very excitable,” Krashes writes. “They ran without regard to traffic. They screamed without regard to residents, many of whom were presumably trying to sleep nearby.”
