Toronto Police Service is investigating after fireworks were set off unexpectedly during a Dua Lipa concert Wednesday night, injuring some fans.According to police, officers responded to reports at 11:42 p.m. that someone set off fireworks at the end of the show
The Star’s Raju Mudhar, who was at the concert with his family, said the fireworks happened during the finale song, “Don’t Start Now.” “We were right next to the fireworks,” Oliveira told the Star. “I thought it was a gun at first. I saw people running and screaming and wasn’t sure if someone snuck them in, or if it was just a poor setup.”
“Last night, at the end of a concert event at Scotiabank Arena, unauthorized and illegal fireworks were set off on the arena floor by a member of the audience. As a result, three attendees received minor aid on-site and were able to go home without a need for further medical attention,” said an MLSE spokesperson in an emailed statement, adding that a safe and secure venue for all attendees at Scotiabank is its top priority.
