Meanwhile, a teenager reported being sexually assaulted in a Falls Festival mosh pit, despite police warnings after the event was marred by similar attacks last year.
The 19-year-old woman was allegedly assaulted by an unknown man during a set by The Jungle Giants at the Marion Bay festival at 9.30pm on Friday.
Detective Constable Damien McVilly said Tasmania police want to hear from two women who helped the victim leave the mosh pit after the alleged assault.
‘We want patrons to feel safe and enjoy the event so we urge anyone witnessing this kind of behaviour to report it immediately,’ he said.
‘Although the mosh pit itself is designed for close contact, any form of touching without the other person’s consent is not okay.’

He said police and event organisers condemned the behaviour, which came despite police warnings about a repeat of last year’s incidents.
At the 2016 Falls Festival three women reported being attacked – two said they were sexually assaulted in mosh pits, and one at the Marion Bay camping site.
Tasmania Police last week promised to have plain-clothed officers joining cops in uniform patrolling mosh pits to prevent attacks on women.
Stickers saying ‘Enjoy the festival, don’t assault anyone’ were seen at the festival, some stuck on the backs of toilet doors.
Police urged anyone feeling isolated or unsafe to seek help from police or festival security staff.
