Five people were arrested after three police officers were
assaulted following Marilyn Manson's show at
Winnipeg's MTS Centre on Sunday night.
Winnipeg police const. Blair Good told Sun Media police stopped
people from walking through traffic after the show, but the group
started punching and kicking the police officers in response. Other
fans got involved, which meant additional units had to be called to
break up the crowd, according to the Winnipeg Free
Press.
Five people were arrested, but one of them had to be arrested twice
after he allegedly was let out of the police cruiser and tried to
run away.
Sun Media reports the officers suffered minor injuries and alcohol

A 24-year-old woman and two 26-year-old men have been charged with
assaulting a police officer. The two men are also charged with
obstructing or resisting a police officer, and one of them is
charged with escaping lawful custody.
Two 26-year-old and 27-year-old men are also charged with causing a
disturbance and obstructing or resisting a police officer. They've
been released and will appear in court.
Manson is supporting his recently released seventh studio album,
