Fire officials confirmed that 10 people were hurt when a brick display fell onto attendees at a family-oriented New Year's Eve event at a Peabody, Massachusetts, arcade on Tuesday.
A New Year's Eve celebration was cut short for families after a brick display holding balloons for a drop collapsed into a crowded Massachusetts arcade. The Peabody Police Department confirmed in a post on Facebook that multiple people were injured when a plastic brick display fell from a mezzanine level at the In the Game arcade in Peabody. According to the arcade's Facebook page, they were hosting a 'Noon Year’s Eve celebration' on Tuesday afternoon.
After arriving at the scene, Dowling said crews discovered it was not a ceiling collapse but rather a display of play bricks, which was 12 feet tall, collapsed onto a group of people during a failed New Year's Eve balloon drop. Dowling said the balloons were supposed to be released from the display during the party and that it appeared a person pulled too hard on the display, causing it to fall over.
