Videos shared online show tents being set on fire on Sunday afternoon during the final night of the three-day festival.
At the same time, testimonies of citizens who participated in the festival speak of objects being thrown and incidents of beatings.
The festival is particularly popular with 16-year-olds as it takes place the weekend after GSCE results are received.

Concerned parents were among those who called the police.
Citizens who visited the festival spoke of a frightening atmosphere.
An indicative setting of the above is the fact that a woman was hit by an object while filming a video.
In a video released, people could be heard asking “where’s the security?” while an employee tries to put out the flames with a bottle of water he had in his backpack.
An eyewitness said fans of rival music genres were arguing with each other as hip-hop fans clashed with alternative music fans as the music genres were switched on stage.
At the same time there were also reports of needle attacks on a person in the crowd.
Better mood, but literally missiles hitting them as they leave. Grim.
