A similar accident occurred earlier in May, when a ride collapsed in a famous shopping mall in the Smouha area, east of Alexandria, which resulted in the injury of six people, including children.
The Public Prosecution office promptly launched investigations. Security services in Alexandria later arrested the manager in charge of the children’s play area.
The victims were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
