Two persons were arrested and three others slightly injured early today during a chair-throwing melee at the close of a pop music concert in the Singer Bowl in Queens, attended by 8,00 persons, mostly teenagers.
The violence began when Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors, ended his last song, called “End,” by falling back on the stage and screaming.
Some of the audience began throwing paper cups, others broke chairs and threw the legs at the stage, and still more threw whole chairs. None of the performers were injured.
Fifteen private policemen held back part of the audience from the stage, but others outflanked them and stormed the stage. The entertainers fled.
One youth was arrested for disorderly conduct and another for harassing a policeman. The injured did not require hospitalization.
