At 10 p.m. those who fainted were taken by ambulances to a local hospital. Six other ambulances were put on standby near Hung Vuong Road, where the celebratory year-end concert had attracted thousands of people beginning at 7 p.m.
Local authorities have not confirmed how many people were taken to the hospital.
After the incident, police set up barriers to block people from entering the concert to prevent overload.
