MYFOXNY.COM - Several people were shot and police had to break up several melees after large crowds reportedly rampaged just off the Rutgers campus on Friday night.
Four people were shot in separate incidents and one person was knocked unconscious with a bottle. One of the shooting victims was a 17 year old boy. In another shooting, a male was hit once in each leg. Another man, 19, was shot in the buttocks. None of the victims are students. All the injuries were believed to be non-life threatening and police have not made any arrests. The bottle attack took place in a parking lot on Easton Ave.
A nursing supervisor at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital confirmed that several students who were returning from the Rutgersfest were also treated for injuries. Rutgersfest is a large school-sponsored event on the Busch campus of the university. The daylong series of concerts is held every year. 40,000 to 50,000 people attended the event.
Traditionally, thousands of attendees return from the event to bars, clubs and house parties through the night.
More than 100 extra officers were assigned to manage the crowds in the streets.
Police arrested at least 11 people. An unknown number of summons were also issued for disorderly conduct.
On Saturday morning police tape was still hanging in the area of College Ave. and Hamilton St. There also reports that police had to break up a crowd of more than 200 people in that area. Riot conditions were reported.
A campus text alert went out at 3:14 a.m. warning students about the shooting. It warned that the suspect was still at large.
Garbage, bottles and other debris was scattered in the area when the sun rose on Saturday morning.
Ya, that emergency text message I got at 3 AM pretty much sums up the insanity that is Rutgers fest. Just a bunch of 18-19 year olds completely shitfaced rampaging around the streets of New Brunswick. Starting riots and shooting each other for shits and giggles. I felt like I was in a war zone around 6 PM on Easton Ave. I can't imagine what that place looked like when all the bars closed at 2. As soon as I can find a video on some of this shit I will post it.
These dudes were def out flipping cars last night.
***UPDATE***
VIDEO. Same fight, 2 Different Angles.
Play by play on the second video is epic.
"Oh he poppin a bitch! he poppin a bitch! Oh shit son! Thats a dude fightin a bitch, thats a dude fightin a bitch Son. Thats bitches fighting duuudes."
Wow these bitches with the Rainbow Bright Hair colors don't fuck around. Chick in the Red straight up squared off with a dude like she was fuckin Kimbo Slice. If that were me I would of ran away from that chick so fast it would make your fuckin headspin. As a dude theres no coming back from getting your ass kicked by a girl on College Ave during Rutgersfest.

"I went to rutgers fest last night, got there pretty late due to the time i left... but once i got there and parked by Ray st, and walked back to hamilton and college ave, i walked in to 4 gunshots shot (heard... didnt actually witnessed). Then i got to witness 5 fights between guys and 1 girl fight by the grease trucks, to where quite a large amount of people got hit wit mace for no reason. lol. just because they were "near" the fight. and the people that complained about it, cz they had nothing to do with it.... they got arrested and beat up just because they went to "complain" to an officer. im assuming the officers took it as , "hes coming to do something about it" and just decided to take it to the violent level."
Dam, good thing my old ass went home before 2 AM. I'm all set with getting my ass beat while I trying to chow down a Fat Darrell.
Thanks to GD for the info
