A person has been taken to hospital after a fairground ride “failed and crashed” in Birmingham.
Officers and paramedics attended the scene at Centenary Square, Birmingham, at 7.30pm on Thursday after the ride dropped to ground level “whilst in operation”, the West Midlands Fire Service said.
“This incident involved a fairground ride that had failed and crashed,” the fire service said.
“The ride dropped to ground level whilst in operation.”
A number of people were treated for injuries at the scene, however, none of their injuries were life-threatening.
The BBC reported a witness seeing a number of “girls who appeared to be injured”. They were seen walking away from the area.
The same witness told the BBC he saw “one girl who seemed to have her face cut”.
One person was taken to hospital, while several others were discharged at the scene.
The fire service added that they were not working to rescue any other people from the crash.
