Early Tuesday morning, several fans attending a Beyoncé concert in Atlanta were injured amid chaos caused by a panicked train passenger. The incident occurred as fans exited the event at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, part of her “Cowboy Carter” tour.

Video footage shows people on stretchers and in wheelchairs being transported from the scene, some wearing cowboy hats. The chaos started when a passenger at the nearby Vine City MARTA station suddenly screamed and ran, leading to a stampede on the escalator.

The escalator accelerated unexpectedly, then abruptly stopped, causing fans to be pushed together and fall. Witnesses described the scene as a crush, with one person sustaining a broken ankle and seven others suffering cuts and scrapes, requiring hospital treatment.

The escalator has since been barricaded while authorities from the manufacturer Schindler and MARTA plan an investigation. The cause of the malfunction remains unclear.

In the aftermath, images depict people being carried on stretchers, underscoring the seriousness of the injuries sustained in the chaos. The incident follows a theft of unreleased Beyoncé music from a rented SUV in Atlanta, adding to the ongoing concerns surrounding the star’s visit.

Police reports indicate that the stolen information included tour plans and personal data, further complicating the situation around her Atlanta stops.
