Six women received medical treatment yesterday and three people were arrested after what local radio described as a stampede as thousands waited in New York to audition for the reality show America's Next Top Model.
Two women and a man were arrested on charges of inciting to riot and disorderly conduct.
WINS radio reported that chaos erupted outside a midtown Manhattan hotel after a car belching smoke pulled up near the line of women, leading
to a cry of "fire" that sparked panic.
A man leaped from a car and began grabbing women's purses.
