Members of the crowd started several small fires, and one woman was taken to Mount Nittany Medical Center after being struck in the head with a bottle. A fight that broke out amidst the crowd resulted in one man suffering a broken jaw. A woman also reported that a beer can was thrown at and shattered her apartment window
Police said Tuesday that they continue to review photos and videos and that several arrests are pending. A number of citations were issued at the scene.
