Fans eager to see soccer superstar David Beckham stormed a police post Thursday in a stampede at a Shanghai university that injured seven people including five security personnel.
Three
police officers, two university security guards and two students — including a
Japanese student — were injured, Shanghai police said on its official
microblog.
Nearly
1,000 fans had gathered at a stadium in Shanghai Tongji University, where the
retired star was to meet members of the university team, according to the
state-run news site Xinmin Net.
Upon
Beckham's arrival, fans stormed through a gate and broke through a line formed
by police and guards, Xinmin said.
Beckham
is in China this week on a seven-day promotional tour for the Chinese Super
League, China's top league. He has been hired as an "image
ambassador" to promote the sport.
