According to eyewitness accounts, in one section of the field, the crowd suddenly surged forward, creating an uncontrollable situation. The police officer made several attempts to break up the dense gathering of people, warning them of the danger. He loudly addressed the participants, urging them to step back and not obstruct the movement of the horsemen, but his efforts were unsuccessful.
Despite his emotional appeals, the crowd ignored all warnings and continued to follow the horses, which, according to witnesses, led to serious chaos.
