Police were called to the funeral of *So You Think You Can Dance* winner Joshua Allen on Saturday, after attendees clashed.

Police in Fort Worth were called to the scene twice, Public Information Officer Bradley C. Perez, tells **.

"A call for police went out around 1:27 p.m.," he said, regarding "a disturbance where a person was on scene that certain parties did not want on scene. However, other parties on scene did not have issue with the person being on scene. Officers advised all parties to keep the peace at this setting."

Another call came at 2:53 p.m. from a third-party caller "calling on behalf of someone on scene, stating same details as earlier. Officers made location and stationed themselves inside location until funeral ended."

TMZ reported that the disagreement came to blows and cited social media footage that appeared to show physical fighting inside the venue.

While one person was transported to a hospital by EMS, which an officer followed and left upon arrival, there were "no details as to what the medical call was in reference to."**

Perez underscored that "no arrests or citations were issued and no reports generated by any officers on these calls."

Allen, 36, died Sept. 30. A family member told TMZ that he was struck by a train.

He was best known for having won the fourth season of dance competition *So You Think You Can Dance*, which aired in 2008. His credits also included *Step Up 3D* in 2010, the 2011 version of *Footloose*, and an episode of *American Horror Story* the same year.

Allen's agent, Christina Price, said in a statement to *EW*, that he had been her client for the better part of 20 years.

"He was a truly gifted dancer — he could watch a routine once, and it would be in his bones, perfectly embodied. Beyond his incredible talent, Joshua had a huge heart," Price said. "He cared deeply for people, giving free dance classes to younger kids, helping them learn new skills, and encouraging them to think outside the box. His kindness, thoughtful guidance, and advice to young dancers, along with his electric smile, touched everyone who knew him. The world truly lost someone extraordinary."**
