Police shut down a pop-up selling Arizona Iced Tea-branded Adidas sneakers that drew massive crowds in New York City on Thursday morning.

Fans had lined up down the block, hoping to buy the Arizona Iced Tea-branded sneakers for 99 cents. People started showing up on Wednesday night, with some waiting in line for more than 12 hours in the hopes of getting a pair of the exclusive sneakers.

However, the pop-up — which was set to open at 11 a.m. in Soho on Thursday — never had the chance to sell a single pair of 99 cent sneakers before the New York Police Department shut down the event. Police arrived on the scene at 9 a.m. for crowd-control purposes.

An NYPD spokesperson told Business Insider that two people were assaulted at the event and taken to the hospital. A 15-year-old male and a 17-year-old female were the victims. Police have not made any arrests in connection with the assaults.

According to eyewitnesses, a woman was assaulted while waiting in line for the sneakers.

One eyewitness told Business Insider she saw that people became upset when someone working at the pop-up said all of the tickets and wristbands to get into the shop had been given away. At this point, the eyewitness said, she saw a woman waiting in line get hit in the head with a bottle.

The girl began bleeding and an ambulance was called. At this point, the eyewitness said she decided it was time to abandon the event.

"This is too much. I can't be out here, risking my life for a pair of 99 cent sneakers," she said.

Arizona Iced Tea and Adidas said in a statement early Thursday afternoon that the pop-up event was "permanently closed."

"Both Adidas and Arizona are grateful for those who came out and apologize for any inconvenience caused as a result of the shutdown," the companies said in a press release. "In an effort to ensure the safety of fans and consumers, all parties made the decision to close the event with the support of local authorities."

Aiyishatu Nuhu told Business Insider she arrived at 4 a.m., commuting from the Bronx after sleeping for three hours. When she arrived, the line was already around the block.

"People started pushing people, literally two hours before the event," she said. "That is when crowd control should have been in place."

Michael Ompod, who described himself as a massive Arizona fan, showed up to the event at 6 a.m. decked out in an Arizona backpack, which he said he bought at a thrift shop. He said he was disappointed not to get anything.

"I'm kind of actually glad I didn't get hurt today. I do feel bad for the people that got hurt today," Ompod said.

According to Adidas and Arizona Iced Tea, the sneaker collaboration will be available to the public at a later time.
