In a statement which was posted to Instagram, Dua says, “Last night, unauthorized fireworks went off in the crowd during my set in Toronto.  Creating a safe and inclusive space at my shows is always my top priority, and my team and I are just as shocked and confused by the events as you all are.  Bringing this show to life for my fans has been such an amazing experience, and I’m so deeply sorry for anyone who was scared, felt unsafe or whose enjoyment of the show was affected in any way,”

Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE) shared statement with CityNews about the incident. “Last night, at the end of a concert event at Scotiabank Arena, unauthorized and illegal fireworks were set off on the arena floor by a member of the audience. As a result, three attendees received minor aid on-site and were able to go home without a need for further medical attention.  As one of the premier venues in North America, creating a safe and secure venue for every attendee at Scotiabank Arena is MLSE’s top priority and we immediately began working in cooperation with Toronto Police Services to fully investigate this reckless and dangerous act.”

The fireworks are seen exploding on the floor of the arena, where fans began running away from the scene.

 


According to CityNews, “Police confirm there was no property damage.  No suspects have been identified.  Investigators are working with security at the arena to view video surveillance and anyone with information is asked to contact police.”
