Close call at concert

-

A man was resuscitat­ed after suffering a cardiac arrest at the ‘‘I’m not dead yet’’ Phil Collins concert in Napier. Paramedics praised the actions of an unidentifi­ed man who noticed the collapse of a fellow concertgoe­r at Wednesday’s Mission Concert and gave him CPR. St John Hawke’s Bay territory manager Brendon Hutchinson said the man was one of 16 taken from the concert to hospital. ‘‘Thirteen of those had fractured lower limbs,’’ he said. ‘‘The high number of fractures was due to three things: the wet weather making the bank very slippery, poor choice of footwear, and the fact there was a large crowd.’’
