A circus performer has injured themselves after falling from a “wheel of faith” during a stunt at Blackpool Tower.
The crowd was evacuated after the accident on Saturday.
The acrobat is “recovering well”, a spokesperson for Blackpool Tower said.
The performer, who is being treated for a minor wrist injury, had been executing a rehearsed move under planned conditions, the spokesperson said.
An X user, who said they were in the audience, said the man appeared to be “in serious pain”.
They wrote: “The guy landed right in front of us and came down with a fair bump. He didn’t seem critically ill, but who knows.”
All guests watching the performance were asked to leave the venue as a precautionary measure.
