A woman has died after being injured in a crush at a gig at London’s Brixton O2 Academy that left several others hurt.
The concert, by Afro-pop singer Asake, had to be abandoned part-way through after a “large number of people” tried to force their way inside on Thursday, the Met Police said.
Rebecca Ikumelo, 33, who was among those injured has now died, the Met said.
Two other women aged 21 and 23 remain in a critical condition, police said.
Videos on social media showed the crowd stretching from the road outside to the venue’s doors.
