Beyoncé's ‘COWBOY CARTER' Concert Ends With 'Stampede'
Multiple people were reportedly injured following a confusing incident after Beyoncé's COWBOY CARTER concert in Atlanta. According to Axios Atlanta, on Monday (July 14), an escalator malfunction was allegedly triggered by a 'stampede.' The escalator manufacturer, MARTA and Schindler, is said to be investigating what happened and how 11 people were injured.
The outlet noted that MARTA Police on scene 'reported that a person began screaming and running, causing a stampede on the escalator that caused it to temporarily speed up and then stop suddenly.' One of the injured parties, who broke their leg and required emergency surgery, expressed disdain for the number of MARTA officers on site. They described the moment by saying, 'Then all of a sudden it was free-falling to the bottom.'
Local news station WRDW reported that the disarray was caused by an unidentified person who began running dramatically after seeing a bug, which caused the escalator-hauling stampede.
'The initial reports were that a woman was scared of an insect and screamed and ran away from it, and others panicked, not knowing what was happening,' a MARTA spokesperson shared with the outlet.
A witness seemingly confirmed the chaotic scene and explained, 'I see that people are starting to run at the entrance, which of course, when you see somebody running, you probably want to run, too.'
The drama seemed to follow the Grammy winner in the Georgia capital. During Beyoncé's time in town, unreleased music, production plans, and more were stolen from her choreographer's rental vehicle. Police have identified a suspect and issued a warrant as the investigation continues.
