Three people were arrested and six others hurt after a riot broke out during auditions for The CW reality series America’s Next Top Model in New York City on Saturday.

Model wannabes for the upcoming season of Tyra Banks’ modeling series were waiting to try out when chaos broke out on the streets outside the Park Central New York Hotel in Manhattan.

A spokesperson for the New York Police Department said the department doesn’t know what prompted the chaos involving hundreds of people on W. 55th Street. The panic left the street outside the hotel littered with shoes and clothing, according to news reports.

“It was pretty scary,” Jessica Paravati told WNYW-TV. She said she was caught up in a stampede after waiting on line overnight.

Two women and a man were arrested on disorderly conduct charges, police said. Four injured people declined treatment, while two others were taken to a hospital, FDNY officials reported. Their conditions weren’t immediately available.

Representatives for The CW Network have released a statement saying it is working with authorities investigating the incident.
