At least 8 injured, four of whom hospitalized in conditions defined as “critical” and therefore life threatening, the toll of a crowd that broke out last night in London on the sidelines of a concert by the Nigerian singer Asake, star of African music pop, on the bill at the Brixton O2 Academy in London.
According to the reconstruction of the police and the images of various amateur videos that have emerged in these hours, the assault on the entrances of over a thousand fans who flocked without a ticket was the trigger of the chaos. And I decided to try to get in anyway to attend the performance of Asake, also known by the nickname of Mr Money: one of the three (all sold out) planned for his London stage. According to the BBC, the concert was eventually called off early.
