Two people have been hurt after a stunt went wrong at a motorbike show at Glasgow's SSE Hydro arena.

The men are reported to be audience members who donned safety gear to take part in the stunt.

Four people, one driver and three volunteers, rode on one motorbikebike for the act. It was part of the Nitro Circus, an "action sport collective" show.

The motorbike attempted to ride up a ramp but failed to make it all the way up. The machine and its riders tumbled to the ground.

The MC can be heard saying: "That is the worst crash we have ever had."

"Occasionally somethings can go wrong. It’s not meant to go wrong so we’re taking a moment."

Two patients were taken to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, the BBC reported.
