Three young women have been killed and two are critically ill in hospital following a human stampede at a Halloween party in the Spanish capital of Madrid.
Partygoers were in tears as they battled against a human tide for the exit doors in a panic apparently sparked by someone throwing a flare, according to police and witnesses.
Some of the doors to the Madrid Arena stadium, which has a capacity for up to 10,500 people, had been sealed, one witness at the "Thriller Music Park" party said.
The women who died in the crush, apparently in a passageway in the stadium, were aged between 18 and 25, police officials said.
A witness described chaos with people fighting for a single door, a waiter trying to resuscitate one of the victims on the bar, and security agents pulling at fleeing youngsters.
"It seems to have been provoked by a flare that someone threw into the stadium," a police spokesman said.
One partygoer - Sandra - spoke of what happened."There was a human blockage at the one exit they had because the others were closed so that no-one could go out that way," she told Cadena Ser radio.
"There was only one door, there was a human blockage with a lot of security staff pulling people," she added. "People were crying, crushed, and there was no-one to help that girl: the waiter got up on to the bar and tried to resuscitate her."
Fernando Prados, duty chief of Madrid emergency services, was on duty at the time of the disaster.
"We received a call at about 4am saying that there were several unconscious girls and when arrived there were five girls between 18 and 25 in respiratory arrest," Prados said.
"We performed resuscitation on them and we managed to get a pulse for three of them," he said. One of the women, however, died on the way to hospital.
"There were some stairs," another witness told state television. "There was an avalanche of people and people fell over each other and amassed there and there was a crush."
An employee from a nearby club said he believed there may have been too many people inside.
A police van and several police cars were at the stadium, which was closed off as police inspected the site under the scrutiny of a crowd of photographers and television cameras.
