Two Hongkong dancers were injured, with one in serious condition, after a giant video screen crashed onto the stage during Cantopop boyband Mirror’s concert last night (Jul 28).

Videos of the accident circulating online showed a group of dancers in white performing onstage at the Hong Kong Coliseum when an LED screen hanging just metres above them fell.

It appeared to directly hit one performer, before toppling onto another.

Audience members screamed in horror as the rest of the performers rushed to help those who were injured.

The concert, the fourth of 12 scheduled shows, was immediately halted and Mirror's manager took to the stage to apologise and asked the audience to leave.

An ambulance arrived 10 minutes after the accident and the two male dancers were rushed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

According to reports, one of the men suffered neck injuries and remains in serious condition in the intensive care unit. The other dancer sustained injuries to his head and is in stable condition.

Three audience members were also taken to the hospital but required no medical treatment.

The government has called for a thorough investigation of the incident and ordered the remaining shows to be suspended until stage structure is proven to be safe.

Medical staff tending to the injured

This was not the first accident to happen at Mirror's concert.

On Tuesday, Mirror member Frankie Chan caused a scare when he accidentally stepped off the stage while giving a speech.

Fortunately, he was unharmed and managed to get back on his feet immediately.

Band members Anson Kong and Edan Lui also almost fell off the stage on Monday night because of its complicated design.
