"In particular we ask parents to speak to their children and highlight that such behaviour could result in serious or life-threatening injuries."

They further said: "At this stage we cannot provide specifics about what led to the injuries as the matter is still being investigated.

"The general advice is for people to exercise their common sense and to steer clear of anything that could cause harm to themselves or to somebody else. Parents and guardians have an important role to play in raising awareness about the obvious dangers."
