People who suffered injuries during the stampede in Turin in the Juventus fan zone last night are over 1500, Italian media reported.

Among the people in hospital is a 7-year-old child who was trampled by the crowd.

Some 30,000 people gathered to watch the Champions League final match that Juventus lost 1: 4. An explosion of a loud firecracker and screams that there was a bomb triggered panic and thousands of people tried to flee Piazza San Carlo, causing the stampede.
