Four people were injured at SXSW after a camera boom fell during O.M.D.’s appearance.

Four people who suffered minor injuries from the mishap were taken to University Medical Center Brackenridge, according to Austin TV station KXAN.

On Saturday, SXSW officials said they were unaware of the video shoot.

“We did not know about this video shoot,” SXSW representative Roland Swenson said while noting there are about 400 crews shooting video at the annual event, according to Austin360.com. “It didn’t come through our process.”

Shortly after the incident, O.M.D. played a shortened set dedicated to the injured fans.
