A man was hurt after falling from a balcony on the third-tier during a Harry Styles concert in Glasgow. It could have turned out so much worse, but fortunately, it did not because of the medics' immediate action.
Based on reports, the man fell into the audience during the former One Direction member's encore performance at Rangers' Ibrox Stadium last night.
The police later confirmed that a man fell from the club deck, which is the third tier of seating in the Main Stand.
A Police Scotland spokesperson told Mail Online UK that the officers were immediately made aware of a male falling from a club deck at a location on Edmiston Drive in Glasgow at approximately 10:15 p.m. that night.
At present, the man's exact condition is unknown. However, there were already reports that his condition did not turn fatal. Instead, he only suffered minor injuries.

There were no suspicious circumstances surrounding his fall, and he was treated by medics at the spot.
As caught on the footage, the audience was dancing on their feet when all of a sudden, a silhouette of a person flailing falling towards the audience members below can be seen.
Nearly 50,000 people attended the sold-out show, which was the opening of his 32-city tour.
It is believed that Styles was performing "Kiwi" during an encore at the time of the incident.
Some fans who personally witnessed the anxiety-inducing event took to social media to air their feelings and shock. Some defended the security team against accusations that they did not respond quickly enough.
One wrote, "during the intro of kiwi someone fell from the upper section down to the lower section in front of us, at least 15 meters down. and security did not react until the end of the song. what should've been the best night of my life turned into a nightmare."
Countering the security argument, someone replie, "Hey, I know it seemed like security didn't react but I was next to them (the bottom tier, next to standing) and we had loads of them legging it up the stairs past us and that was about 20 seconds into kiwi." Another wrote that the lag in response can be attributed to the distance it needed for the security to reach the man and nothing else.
A third parent told how their 15-year-old initially mistook it for a blow-up doll, saying it was quite horrifying to find out that it is not.
