Children are among 15 people injured after a fairground ride malfunctioned and collapsed.
At least 25 people were on the tower swing in Rajasthan, India, when a cable broke and it plummeted to the ground.

Children’s screams ring out as horrified bystanders helplessly look on.
It is understood as soon as the swing broke down, the operator fled the scene.

This is not the first time a fairground ride has malfunctioned in India.
In February, a ferris wheel broke down leaving riders dangling upside down.
Footage from Rajmahal shows it swinging dangerously as people below try to help them down.
The cart then breaks away from the ride as it approaches the ground.
