LAHORE, Pakistan: One of Pakistan’s most prominent politicians, former cricket star Imran Khan, fell from a stage and was injured at a political rally in the eastern city of Lahore.
One of the leaders of Khan’s party, Ijaz Chaudhry, says the politician was taken to a hospital after the incident Tuesday but his injuries were not life-threatening.
Local TV footage showed supporters carrying Khan away from the rally. His face was bloody and he appeared unconscious.
Khan fell at least 5 meters (15 feet) off what appeared to be a makeshift elevator raising him up to the stage.
