Chaos injure dozens at Andy Lau's concert
Chaotic scenes greeted Hong Kong pop idol Andy Lau when a riot broke out at one of his concerts in China resulting in dozens of people being injured, a press report says.
The fans outside turned angry when a glass door was closed preventing any more people entering the venue. Scuffles broke out and fans smashed open the glass door and rushed inside the hall. Anti-riot police were called in to calm the crowd. Some fans suffered cuts during the frenzied panic and more than a dozen others, including a 14-year-old girl, were trampled in the stampede. The situation inside was just as chaotic as the crowd tried to push towards the stage. Lau called for them to stay calm but to no avail, forcing the singer to end his show early. Lau, one of Asia's biggest stars, was later whisked away secretly in a fire engine, the paper added. Lau is a leading star in the world of Canto-pop, the Cantonese language hybrid of Chinese ballads and Western pop, and an award-winning actor who has starred in some of Hong Kong's most critically acclaimed films including Infernal Affairs.
