DMX was onstage at New York's Nassau Coliseum for a total of 15 minutes Saturday night during the Back to School Jam concert co-sponsored by hip-hop radio station Hot 97. But a lot can happen in 15 minutes.
According to police, an unidentified 29-year-old woman was struck in the head with a metal folding chair during an onstage altercation that involved several concertgoers and members of DMX's entourage. The victim was treated at Nassau University Medical Center in nearby East Meadow for a laceration she'd sustained to her head.
Police spokesperson Detective Sergeant Herb Daub of Nassau's Third Squad Detective Unit told New York Newsday that DMX "ran back, jumped off stage" during his brief set, "and started a fight with the sound person" when the sound was cut midway through his performance.
DMX headlined the Hot 97 event, which also featured appearances by Yung Joc and Lloyd Banks
