Cops had to shut down a Versace sample sale in Chelsea on Wednesday after more than 1,000 deal-savvy shoppers flocked to the store, with fights breaking out before shoppers could even get their hands on the discounted designer labels.
Videos shared on social media captured the chaotic scene unfolding just after 9 a.m. at 125 W. 18th St. as thousands of shoppers crowded the sidewalks — some having waited in line for hours — only for a fight to cause the sale to be shut down by police just before noon, the NYPD told The Post.
Within hours, the store’s security had to enlist the NYPD’s help to control the crowd.
The event was temporarily shut down and later reopened. No arrests were made, police said.
Videos of the massive crowd and images of shoppers looking to purchase pieces by the famed designer being escorted away by police flooded social media early Wednesday.
*** Many New Yorkers took to X to express their disbelief over the silly skirmish.
“Some people will sacrifice necessities, just to have the ‘right’ labels on. Smh,” one person wrote.
“The NYC Versace sample sale ending in 35 minutes bc y’all don’t know how to act is wild,” another chimed in.
“Rushing the door for a Versace sample sale is egregious behavior lmao,” another person said. ***

If there was such a sale in Japan, I’ll bet everyone would stand nicely in line with no shoving, bowling over other customers, or punching.

The whole country is 95% black if you watch commercials.
That’s because the blacks associate their value amd social status based on what you own/have. That is also why many poor blacks stay poor; they spend money they don’t on what they dont need.

I keep telling people that 75% of the deep state personnel are fat, middle-age women. Nobody believes me. They are stuck on the Hollywood fantasy that the apparatchiks are all 10-feet-tall, perfectly fit, front page models with Einstein IQs.
“Funny, she doesn’t look Druish.”
