NEW YORK, USA – At least 42 people were injured Friday night, August 5 after a railing collapsed at a Snoop Dogg concert in New Jersey, police said.
The rap superstar was performing with fellow hip-hop artist Wiz Khalifa in the northeastern state when the metal railing caved under the weight of attendees leaning against it.
Footage uploaded to social media shows concert-goers tumbling atop each other toward the foot of the stage.
