Bee attack at India A and England Lions match leaves spectators injured
In an unexpected and painful turn of events, the fourth one day match between India A and England Lions came to a halt because of a bee attack.
The match, which was played at the Green Field International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram, had to be stopped for 15 minutes as a swarm of bees attacked the spectators at the stadium.
The match was in its 28th over when the incident happened and left a lot of spectators in the stadium injured and it was all captured in a video.
Watch the bizarre video:
In the now viral video, the spectators can be seen trying to shoo away the bees with clothes and running off to vacant areas, which obviously didn't help them.
According to reports, none of the players at the stadium were seriously injured at the scene, as the bees did not enter the field.
Although a few spectators were taken to the hospital immediately because of the sting attack. In fact, India A coach Rahul Dravid, who was taking a walk around the stadium at that time, had to run for his safety, said reports.
After the incident, crowd at the stadium was shifted from the west side of the stadium to the east side.
The Chief Operating Officer of Sports Faculties Ltd told a daily, "It was an unfortunate incident. We had ensured that the gallery where the spectators who sit for watching the match was cleaned ahead of the match. But it were some spectators who went upstairs where they were not supposed to go in the normal circumstances and stirred the hive unknowingly or mischievously."
