Lanarkshire mum tells of race to help after fan falls at Harry Styles Ibrox gig

A Lanarkshire mum has told of her shock after a Harry Styles fan plummeted in front of her at the pop superstar's Ibrox gig.

Dylan Wood, 20, was placed on life support but incredibly escaped the horror plunge with just two black eyes, bruising and a concussion.

The East Kilbride man had tumbled over a barrier at the show and fell into the tier below from the stadium's Club Deck.

Tracy Brown from Rutherglen was just yards away when the incident happened, alongside her 15-year-old daughter, and rushed to get help.

She told Lanarkshire Live: "I didn't actually see him fall at first, we saw everyone jumping back suddenly and heard this crack.

"He was lying right in between two rows in front of us, so it was quite hard to get to him. Someone else was there quickly and looked to be giving him CPR and I just looked about but there was no security or staff anywhere.

"I ran out to the concourse but there wasn't anyone there either, so I ended up going down the stairs to the actual entrance and got security there. It was so near the end of the gig so I don't know if a lot of the security were going to the exits for everyone leaving.

"It was really upsetting at the time. All the young ones were in hysterics and all the adults were trying to comfort them. He was dead lying there and wasn't moving at all. Then we started to hear people saying that he was breathing. We were so glad to hear later on that he was alright."

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Officers were made aware of a man falling from a club deck at a premises on Edmiston Drive, Glasgow at around 10.15pm on Saturday.

“There were no suspicious circumstances and the man was seen to by medical staff.”
