You wanna talk fierce?

America's Next Top Model held a casting call in New York City on Saturday and things got a little crazy. After news of a car fire spread through the crowd of Tyra Banks wannabes, a fight broke out at the Park Central hotel, which led to a stampede.

"Everyone got thrown everywhere," Annina Manttari, who had planned on auditioning, told The New York Times. "People were getting run over."

Things got so out of hand that police were forced to shut down Tyra's peeps. And get this -- two women and one man were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and inciting to riot, while six other people were injured, two of which were taken to the hospital.

The CW network told the Times it was "working and cooperating with local authorities."

If there was this much drama at the auditions, can you imagine what the next season is going to be like?
