Multiple Beyoncé fans were injured early Tuesday when a screaming train passenger sparked a stampede after Queen Bey’s latest show in Atlanta.
Terrifying video from the scene shows people being led into ambulances on stretchers or in wheelchairs, some of them wearing cowboy hats after the star’s “Cowboy Carter” tour at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
8 were hospitalized after a “stampede” at a train station following a Beyoncé concert. Atlanta News FirstAs fans streamed out of the show into the nearby Vine City MARTA station, a passenger started screaming and running — triggering a stampede on the escalator, officials told Atlanta News First.
That caused the escalator to speed up — before it suddenly stopped, leaving fans “smashed together” with multiple passengers falling on them, one witness told Fox 5.
One person suffered a broken ankle and seven others were taken to the hospital with cuts and scrapes, Fox 5 reported.
Officials have not said what caused the escalator malfunction as fans left the stadium just after midnight following Beyoncé’s final show in Atlanta on her Cowboy Carter tour.
