CPD said officers were called to help the Chicago Fire Department after a 29-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman suffered injuries.

The man reported shoulder and neck pain, and the woman suffered a laceration to the back of the head, police said. Both were taken to Stroger Hospital in good condition.

Radius posted the the following statement to social media Saturday:

“We want to address the events that took place during last night’s show at Radius. First, during the event, a non-structural wood ledger that was attached to the steel frame fell from the ceiling and struck a few attendees. Two individuals were taken to the hospital for treatment. We are heartbroken and our thoughts are with them as we wish them a speedy recovery. We take this incident extremely seriously and have been in contact with city officials. We’ve engaged a structural engineer who determined there are no additional safety concerns at this time. The safety and well-being of our guests is always our top priority, and as such we are implementing additional recommended precautionary measures for tonight’s event.”

CFD is investigating.
