Passing in front of praying people in a crowd and the imam’s sutrah

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. First, if they are praying the obligatory prayer, the imam’s sutrah is sufficient; it serves as a sutrah for those behind him. Second, there is a dire necessity here: the crowd is large, and people need to pass through. There is no doubt that taking a sutrah is a recommended practice (sunnah), not an obligation. Passing through is a dire necessity. People are excused, praise be to Allah; you are excused, and they are excused in passing through. And religion is ease, praise be to Allah. Yes.
