NYPD shuts down Versace sample sale after chaotic scene at Chelsea location
Police had to shut down a Versace sample sale on Wednesday after thousands of people descended on the streets of Chelsea to snag discounted fashions.
Social media was abuzz with images of the chaos on Wednesday morning, including images of shoppers being escorted by police. The sample sale at 125 West 18th St. began at 9 a.m., though the hype had people waiting in line hours earlier. But within hours, store security personnel enlisted the police's help to control the crowd after a fight broke out in the line, according to the NYPD. The event was temporarily shut down and later reopened with no arrests.
