ARRESTS, INJURIES FOLLOW THREE 6 MAFIA GIG: Brawl involving as many as 30 people erupts outside of Hollywood's House of Blues.
*A brawl erupted outside of a Three 6 Mafia concert at Hollywood's House of Blues Wednesday night that spilled out onto Sunset Blvd. and ended with three men arrested and one woman hospitalized.
According to KABC, police were forced to shut down Sunset Blvd. in both directions shortly after the fight started inside the venue at about 11:30 p.m. Most in the crowd of about 600 ran for the exit as the melee spilled onto the streets.
Some of the club's security guards got involved and dozens of police officers from several departments rushed to the scene to break it up. Sunset Blvd. was briefly shut down for an investigation.
One woman was trampled as the crowd rushed out of the venue. She was taken to a hospital with minor injuries to her leg. Three men were arrested, one of them for public drunkenness. Another man suffered some minor injuries in the brawl, but no officers were injured.
A witness says several factors led to the fight.
"Three 6 Mafia had some scantily clad dressed women on stage, so I'm sure that was probably helping fuel the situation," said the witness. "And then just one fight broke out and another fight broke out, and the next thing you know it was just nuts."
