Travis Scott Concert: Security Staff Passed Out After Being ‘Injected In The Neck’

A member of security at Travis Scott’s concert was ‘injected in the neck’ and fell unconscious, according to police. 

According to a statement made by Houston Police Chief Troy Finner, a security officer is also believed to have been injured, after he was allegedly pricked in the neck with an unknown substance and subsequently passed out.

In a press conference on Saturday, November 6, Finner addressed the rumours that ‘some individual was injecting other people with drugs’.

Finner noted a report concerning a member of the festival’s security, who ‘according to the medical staff […] was reaching over to restrain or grab a citizen and he felt a prick in his neck’.

He stated: 

When he was examined – he went unconscious – they administered Narcan. He was revived and the medical staff did notice a prick that was similar to a prick you would get if someone was trying to inject.
