Several people injured in concert crush at London's Brixton O2 Academy
By Harry Low & Liz JacksonPolice were called on Thursday night to the show by Afro-pop singer Asake. Four people were described by the Met as having been critically injured, and the event was abandoned part-way through.One of the crush victims told the BBC: "I couldn't breathe and I completely passed out. I thought I was dead."
"I was trying to get up, people were stepping on my head, all over me. I had more than 10 people on top of me.The woman, from Battersea in south London, suffered skinned knees and a black eye. She said she was still in disbelief about what had happened. "We tried to find out what was going on and were told they had just shut the door and they won't allow people to go in.
"When I saw people actually starting to push on the doors my first thought was like: 'Yes, there could be a stabbing just because when people get riled up together they do stupid things.' That's when I left." Underneath a "sold out" sign, the metal railings scattered across the pavement bear testament to what were chaotic scenes.
