NEW YORK (UPI) — About 100 people, including three police officers, received medical attention during a farewell concert at Shea Stadium of the British rock group The Who, police said early Wednesday.

Another 50 spectators were arrested at the stadium performance, packed by 70,000 people.

A spokesman for the city’s Emergency Medical Service said 20 people were taken to area hospitals for treatment of injuries ranging from fractured ankles to broken arms and legs.

Police said the injuries were caused by the general crush and excitement of the crowd, not by a melee or violence.

A police officer was treated for ear injuries sustained when a firecracker exploded near him, the spokesman said. The nature of the injuries suffered by the other two officers was not known.

EMS duty Chief Norman Winfrey said about 80 other people were treated at the stadium in Flushing Meadow Park for sprained ankles, drunkenness and drug-related problems. Those people were released after treatment.

Police said they made about 50 arrests at the concert, the first of two farewell appearances by the British band at Shea.

The veteran group is making what it says will be its last concert tour of the United States.
