Toronto police say they are investigating after fireworks were set off at a Dua Lipa concert inside of Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday night.
Police said that at around 11:42 p.m. someone reportedly threw fireworks at the end of the concert.
Video surfacing on social media show several red and yellow fireworks going off in the middle of the concert venue with thousands of spectators.

None of the injured required an ambulance or were taken to hospital.
Police said no damage was caused to the property.
