100 reportedly hurt as Halloween rave event spins into chaos

Published January 13, 2015

As many as 100 teenagers required medical treatment and a man who landed a helicopter near the crowd was arrested as a rave event at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum descended into chaos, MyFoxNY.com reports.

The event, called Haunted Coliseum, was billed as an electronic dance music event.

It was supposed to feature Sebastian Ingrosso, Alesso and Otto Knows. It was shut down after only about an hour.

Nassau County police say they received several 911 calls for intoxicated youths at the event. While detectives and officers were at the scene investigating as many as 100 intoxicated youths between the ages of 14 and 18, a man attempted to land a Bell helicopter on a grassy area on the west side of the coliseum.

Police say the landing had to be aborted due to people walking in the area. They say the pilot, Michael Croissant, 44, then returned and landed on the grassy area, despite at least 20 people being in the area, according to MyFoxNY.com.

Police arrested Croissant and seized his helicopter.
