The incident took place around 8:30 a.m., Saturday, May 2, in Westchester at the Costco Warehouse store located on Industrial Lane in New Rochelle.
Reportedly, a few people waiting in a crowd of a few hundred shoppers became impatient when the doors didn't open right at 8 a.m.
New Rochelle Police were called to restore order, and according to Capt. Cosmo Costa, "a few customers on line" became impatient, but officers were able to control the situation quickly before it became out of hand, he said.
Wooden pallets were used to create lines so employees could control the number of people inside the store to allow for social distancing.
