Prior to the Golden State Warriors’ game in Utah on Wednesday, several fans fell from the stands as they were trying to get an autograph from Stephen Curry.
In what has become a regular scene at Golden State Warriors games, fans crowded around the tunnel to the locker room trying to get an autograph. However, it appears that on this occasion one of the railings gave way and four fans fell to the floor. Three of the fans appeared to be young children.

According to Kareem Copeland of the Associated Press, three of the four fans to fall were minors. Three of the fans were treated and later returned to their seats. A fourth fan reportedly went to first aid on his own.
Curry did autograph items for the three fans who were treated at the scene.
Here is a photo of the railing that collapsed.
