"We treated five patients. They were all teenage girls. Four of them were taken to Mayday Hospital in south London," he said.
"There was one with a hand injury, one with difficulty in breathing and two who were also just taken unwell.
"The fifth was treated at the scene."
Panic attack
One concert-goer told the Croydon Guardian she was helped from the crowd after suffering an asthma and panic attack.
"I'd been queuing since 1pm but when the school kids turned up it became so busy with them all pushing us towards the front," she said.
"There was a pregnant woman in the crowd. It was horrible. I couldn't move. I couldn't get out."
