Two men are in hospital after a fight at the Coldplay concert Wednesday night at the Saddledome.

Duty Inspector Craig Skelton tells 660News they were called just after 10:30.

“The investigation revealed that this male was involved in an altercation with another male at one of the suites,” says Skelton. “As a result of that fight, he was knocked to the ground where he landed upon some glass, that’s how he received the cut to his neck.”

A number of people were detained at the scene as police investigated.

Witnesses say the fight happened in one of the Dome’s luxury suites.

Charges are pending.
