Wall collapses in ticket rush

Hundreds of fans queuing up for cricket World Cup tickets pushed down a section of wall at the Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday, injuring one person, a venue official told AFP.

Crowds were trying to get tickets to the India-West Indies game on March 20 when the wall gave way.

"The wall is at the periphery of the stadium and a small portion of it collapsed when fans pressed against it," Tamil Nadu Cricket Association secretary K.S. Viswanathan said.

"One person sustained injury and he has been attended to. It was a minor incident." New Delhi, Thursday, AFP
