More than two dozen people were injured in a mosh pit during an Eminem performance Saturday in Washington, D.C.

While most of the injuries were classified as minor by a fire department spokesperson, five people required hospital treatment and one man suffered a heart attack. He was revived on the scene at RFK Stadium before being taken away for treatment, according to the Associated Press. His condition was unknown at press time.

The incident occurred when audience members surged forward just after 8 p.m., ignoring Eminem's pleas to step back. The show was suspended for 10 minutes as the injured fans were pulled from the pit.

The rapper's performance was part of radio station WHFS-FM's annual HFStival, which this year also featured the Strokes, Hoobastank, Sum 41, N.E.R.D. and the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

It was Eminem's first live performance promoting his new album, The Eminem Show, which hit stores Sunday (May 26).

The two-day HFStival, one of the nation's largest summer radio festivals, was set to continue as scheduled Sunday with sets by Papa Roach, P.O.D., and Dashboard Confessional, among others.
