• Hundreds of people attended a rave under a bridge in Brooklyn Saturday night, as clubs and indoor bars remained closed across New York City due to the coronavirus outbreak.
• Sources told Guest of a Guest that the gathering was originally planned as a Black Lives Matter protest but "spiraled out of hand."
• Videos taken at the event show crowds dancing, many without face masks on and not adhering to social-distancing rules.

Hundreds attended an impromptu rave in Brooklyn Saturday night, as indoor bars and clubs across the city remain closed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

Sources told Guest of a Guest that the event was originally planned as a Black Lives Matter protest which "spiraled out of control."

Videos posted on social media from the event show multiple DJs playing to a crowd in the hundreds under the Kosciuszko Bridge in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Some of the attendees and DJs could be seen wearing face masks, but social distancing was not being followed.

"This really should not be happening lol," one Instagram user who uploaded footage from the event wrote over one video. It is not clear whether they attended the event.

Another person who said they were at the rally said the police showed up later in the night, but it's unclear whether anyone was punished for attending the event.

DJ Mike Simonetti tweeted that he was offered a chance to play at the event, but turned it down because his father had died of the coronavirus.

"I saw it as a disrespect to both my mother and everyone else who is going through what she went through," Simonetti wrote. "Imagine being married for 50 years and not being able to see your husband on his death bed."

Insider contacted the New York Police Department and DJ Mazurbate, one of the DJs that played the event, for further comment on the event, but did not immediately receive a response.

New York City is currently in Phase 4 of its reopening plan, which allows restaurants and bars to open for outdoor dining. However, customers must buy food if they want to drink alcohol.

The bridge rave comes a week after 3,000 people attended a "drive-in" Chainsmokers concert in the Hamptons. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he was "appalled" by videos from the concert, and that the Department of Health is investigating.
