CPD said officers were called to help the Chicago Fire Department after a 29-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman suffered injuries.

The man reported shoulder and neck pain, and the woman suffered a laceration to the back of the head, police said. Both were taken to Stroger Hospital in good condition.

Authorities did not immediately say what kind of accident caused the injuries.

Levity, the music group performing at the venue Friday evening, posted an Instagram story, saying, “Something of the venue fell from the roof, and the Fire Marshall needed the set to stop early so they could inspect the venue.”

CFD is investigating.
