Riot Police Called on YG and Ty Dolla $ign Concert in Sydney

Australia Day got a little out of hand for a few people in Sydney Monday night, Jan. 26. Ty Dolla $ign and YG were performing the fourth show in Sydney on their joint Australia-New Zealand, five-date concert tour when an incident allegedly occurred that led to an ugly brawl outside the venue. Taking place on Australia Day, the show at the Enmore Theatre should have been filled with patriotic cheer and good times, but instead the riot police had to be called into to break up a fight.

According to the Daily Telegraph, a 24-year-old man, Mohamed Hamdin allegedly became aggressive with the alleged victim after they met on the dance floor and started kissing. She went to leave and he allegedly pulled at her pants and would not allow her to move away.

According to court papers, Hamdim allegedly grabbed the 15-year-old girl and continued to touch her. He has been charged with indecently assaulting a person under the age of 16 and was refused bail after appearing in local court.

In addition to the 24-year-old's arrest, police made several other arrests after the gig and treated other people for a number of minor injuries.

The show was an all-ages event and is the fourth stop on the pair's first Australia-New Zealand tour. Before Sydney, they performed in Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane in Australia with a gig in Auckland, New Zealand, on the horizon.

The two rappers have not commented on the event outside the venue and appeared to have played to a good crowd inside based on posts from their social media accounts.
