14 injured in Dunedin balcony collapse

One photograph showed a flat minus a balcony.

The balcony collapsed about 7.45pm, causing people to fall about 3 metres. Do you have more information?

"Little shocked that @SIX60 continued to play tonight after a balcony at their gig collapsed". Several people climbed onto roofs and some were on balconies overlooking the concert venue.

"It landed on about 10 to 12 people".

Ambulance services treated people for a range of injuries, including possible head injuries and fractures. People are seriously injured!!,' one person tweeted.

"Obviously people were concerned and there were people hurt, but the band carried on", he said.

Hundreds of people attended the surprise gig, many of them on balconies on surrounding properties, and posted photos to social media.

The popular band were playing for university orientation when disaster struck.

The first-floor balcony gave way at a Six60 concert in Castle St on Friday evening.

"There was a big surge when it happened, everyone wanted to move forward". "I'm obviously thinking about the poor students who were hurt".

When it collapsed it threw people around three metres onto a courtyard area. "The whole thing started cracking and it all just fell down", he said.

A student who saw the balcony come down said it was "horrific".

A number of people have been hospitalised after the incident in Dunedin.

Police will remain in the area during the night and have been liaising with the Hospital in respect of those injured.

Police say Worksafe New Zealand will visit the site.

The band formed after living together at 660 Castle St, but the concert was not at that address.
