Video clips circulating on social media show more than a dozen performers on stage dancing when one of a series of giant monitors comes loose from what appears to be suspension wires and slams onto the stage. At least one dancer was hit on the head and two others were struck when the screen fell backwards, the video showed.
According to police, at least two to three people were injured, and two male dancers were sent to Queen Elizabeth Hospital. They were conscious but there were no other details on their condition.
One of the injured was identified as a key dancer of the concert known as Mo.
The concert, the fourth of 12 that Mirror scheduled at the coliseum, was immediately halted. Ahfa Wong Wai Kwan, Mirror’s manager, apologised and appealed to the audience to leave the coliseum in a calm and orderly fashion after the incident, according to a video circulated online.
“Thank you so much for your support to Mirror, but there is something that we need to handle now. I hope you can all leave in an orderly manner,” she said. “I’m sorry. I promise to settle your tickets and promise we will handle the show to ensure [everyone’s] safety.”
Audience members shouted in horror when the video screen plunging onto the stage.
“I was shocked,” Aaron Chan Chun-tat, a 33-year-old lawyer, said. He was seated close to the stage in row 27 and witnessed the accident. “Then everyone was evacuated,” he said.
Another audience member, surnamed Chan, said she was “very traumatised” after seeing the screen fall, as she was sitting in the first few rows watching the stage when it happened.
“It happened too fast and it took everyone a few moments to realise what had happened. Everyone saw the dancers fell onto the floor, and we just hope they are okay,” she said.
