More than 30 people were injured when a swarm of bees attacked the Pueblo Nuevo Sports Complex in San Cristóbal, in Venezuela’s Táchira state, on the afternoon of Sunday, September 6.
The incident prompted an immediate response from emergency and security teams at the sports complex. Yesnardo Canal, director of Civil Protection in Táchira, said five ambulances were deployed to provide first aid and prehospital care.
Sixteen people were taken to the Social Security Hospital in San Cristóbal because of the severity of their allergic reactions to the stings. The remaining victims received outpatient treatment in areas near the venue, and their medical condition was reported as stable.
The bees entered the complex as spectators began arriving for the Liga Futve match between Deportivo Táchira and Rayo Zuliano. Most of those treated were young people moving through the venue’s corridors and common areas.
