Alkaline at O2 Academy Brixton23 April 2017

A sold-out Alkaline concert at O2 Academy Brixton was cancelled after disorder outside the venue, with reports that people tried to force entry, including via a fire exit. Police were called, roads around the venue were closed, and a later police appeal related to a woman injured during the surge at about 9:15pm.

One injury officially verified in the sourced material: a 38-year-old woman suffered a head injury, was taken to hospital, and was later discharged. Separately, witness-based reporting said a mother claimed she was trampled and one of her daughters suffered an asthma attack, but I did not find an official source confirming those two additional claimed injuries.

No verified fatalities found in the matched sources I located.
