A near tragedy in the early evening of the Red Valley Festival in Olbia: moments of great panic and general escape when someone sprayed a stinging substance in the crowd.

During Geolier's performance, a strange, very dense smoke rises from the crowd. And a second later people start running away.

The testimonies of some young people present

«I was enjoying the concert, at one point I see my friend who was a little ahead of me putting his hands on his girlfriend's nose and mouth. I didn't understand what was happening: a moment later I couldn't breathe anymore», says Elena. «I saw everyone running away and pushing, my leg was stuck. I managed to hold on to my friend to go away, otherwise they would have crushed me ».

Lucrezia with her friends, on the other hand, was right behind whoever sprayed the substance: «I couldn't breathe anymore, I started running but in the delirium of the moment I lost my friends. I was sick, I didn't know what to do. Luckily a girl saw me alone and panicked, she came to help me and gave me her water».

A beautiful evening could turn into a tragedy.
