‘Chaos’ breaks out at Ontario university’s Homecoming celebration. Homecoming weekend at the University of Guelph put people’s safety at “serious risk,” leading to “several” criminal charges and a strain on the city’s emergency department, according to officials.
One student at the Ontario school said the “chaos” broke out on Saturday as thousands turned out for an unsanctioned street party on Chancellors Way.
“People throwing cans at each other, yelling, causing fights,” recalled Erik Rutledge, a second-year economics and finance student.
Photos and videos, shared on social media, showed some of the unruly behaviour.
Rutledge watched the action from above. At one point, two young men climbed up the side of the building, and one of them lost his grip.
“I saw someone fall three storeys, trying to get in my apartment,” Rutledge said. “I don’t know who they are.”
