AC/DC fans clash with Police

An AC/DC gig in Norway Wednesday night (February 18) ended in a flare up between fans and police outside the venue.

The rock legends were performing a show at the Telenor Arena near Oslo, but concert-goers were forced to endure long traffic jams to get to the venue.

The problem got worse after the gig, with stationary traffic and apparent poor transport links leaving many people stranded.

Norwegian website Budstikka.no reports that things soon turned ugly with many fans venting their anger on police officers – throwing bottles at patrol cars and tearing down fences erected to control the crowds
