X FACTOR finalists JLS’s homecoming gig ended in chaos last night — as six teenage girls were crushed in a stampede.
Nearly 3,000 screaming fans had flocked to the free performance by the boyband four. But the first-come, first-served event turned into disaster as youngsters were crushed against crowd barriers by people shoving to get in. Paramedics and police rushed to the 2,000-seater Fairfield Halls in Croydon, South London. Fan Amber Read, 13, said: “I couldn’t breathe — I was being crushed. It was terrifying.” Steph Pritchard, 14, added: “It was chaos. People were on the floor but others were treading on them.” One girl suffered a fractured hand, one had stomach injuries, and another had difficulty breathing. Three other fans became unwell. Two were taken to nearby Mayday Hospital for treatment. JLS — Marvin, 23, JB, 21, Ortise, 21, all of London and Aston, 20, of Peterborough — face Eoghan and Alexandra in Saturday’s final. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...cle2017704.ece |
