A blocks display crashes down at a children’s New Year’s Eve celebration inside a Massachusetts arcade, injuring 10 people, authorities say.

The display at the In the Game arcade in Peabody toppled when balloons attached to it were “pulled down,” the Peabody Police Department said Tuesday. The incident occurred during the arcade’s “Noon Year’s Eve” celebration. Police called it a Lego display, but a company spokesperson said it was not their product.
