May 26, 2002 -- WASHINGTON - More than two dozen people were injured - most of them slightly - in a mosh-pit stampede while rapper Eminem performed last night at RFK Stadium, officials said. One man suffered a heart attack during the melee and was taken to a local hospital, said a District of Columbia fire spokesman. His condition was unavailable.
Four others were taken to area hospitals with injuries not considered to be life-threatening. The rest were treated at the scene.
"There were fights and a lot of pushing and shoving," said witness Brent Turner, 17, of Damascus, Md.
The concert, sponsored by a Maryland radio station, included a number of acts on several stages. Eminem resumed his performance after a brief delay.
