Eight people were taken to hospital from the scene. Four remain in a critical condition, police said. The incident occurred during a performance from Nigerian Afrobeats singer and songwriter Asake. While no arrests have been made, detectives from Specialist Crime have launched an urgent investigation and cordons remain in place at the O2 Academy.
"I would ask people to be sensible about what they share, and not to post material that will be upsetting to those affected by this incident. Where force has been used by police officers, those officers know they have to be accountable for their actions.
