“There were a couple of fights that broke out, causing panic in the crowd and several people were injured trying to leave the area,” Chief Carlos Castillo Jr. said. “Adequate police and medical staff were on hand to aid as needed and transport individuals to the hospital.”
Castillo said authorities couldn’t immediately say how many people were hospitalized. A location was also not provided.
Castillo said music was paused as officers responded, but the event continued through 3 a.m.
“We sincerely regret that anyone was injured, but we also regret the infactual information that is being falsely spread about the Atlantic Beach Black Pearl Cultural Heritage and Bike Festival,” Castillo said.
Founded in 1980 by the Flaming Knight Riders, Atlantic Beach’s bike week draws up to 400,000 people.
“Alone, it would be considered the third largest motorcycle rally in the entire country after Sturgis and Daytona. But when combined with Myrtle Beach’s Harley Week, it has arguably more people than any other city,” Atlantic Beach says of the event on its website.
