A fan fell from a top tier balcony into the crowd below during Harry Styles' concert in Glasgow last night.
Police confirmed they were made aware of the incident at the former One Direction star's gig at Ibrox Stadium, which staged its first concert in almost two decades.
It happened shortly after 10pm in the Club Deck - the third tier of seating within the stadium's Main Stand - during the 28-year-old singer's encore.
Medics treated the man at the scene. His current condition is not yet known.

One person tweeted: "Still in shock after @Harry_Styles concert @Ibrox. A guy fell from the tier above onto the main stand one row in front of us.
"I had to run to main door at street level to bring help. Everyone in shock around us and so upset. Hope guy is OK."
Witnesses to 'awful' fall
Another added: "Sadly we saw someone fall from the club deck at Harry Styles tonight in Glasgow. Praying they are ok."
A third worried fan posted: "This happened literally a few rows in front of me, it was f** awful, but they were sitting upright and on a seat as we were all leaving so hopefully they were ok."
The incident follows criticism of "shambolic" queues outside the venue with fans waiting hours in stormy weather to get inside.
The sold-out gig in Scotland is only the second time Styles has returned to the UK stage, following his one-night only gig in London on May 24.
