Wiz Khalifa ended his recent concert early amid ‘audience panic’ which left three injured.
The See You Again hitmaker was performing at the Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana, on Friday when panic broke out amongst the crowds.
According to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, the star was in the middle of the show when a ‘disturbance’ was reported at the left side of the open-air venue which led to audience members running out of the venue.
Security staff instantly responded, and Khalifa cut the show short as police instigated an emergency action plan which opened all the exits to the concert and allowed patrons to ‘self-evacuate.’
It’s unclear what caused the panic, however police confirmed they swept the area and did not find any weapons.
They added that three people suffered minor injuries and were quickly transported to local hospitals for treatment.

It’s also not known at the time of writing what caused the injuries which led to hospitalisation.
According to Deadline, there were ‘rumours of gunfire’ at the 25,000-capacity venue, which led crowds to the left of the stage to spill out of the exits in panic.
The concert – opened by 1-800-273-8255 rapper Logic – comes ahead of multiple other dates on Wiz’s US tour, which on Saturday will see him perform in Philadelphia.
