Two people at the Celtics opening night watch party at City Hall Plaza were injured by a falling drone on Tuesday night, police say.

At about 8:02 p.m., a Boston police officer assisted two injured bystanders who were hit by the drone, according to a police report. Several media outlets have reported that three people were actually injured.

An officer had observed the drone strike a light pole and fall on the victims, police said.

A male victim said he had pain in his right hand, which was bleeding, and a female victim said she had “significant pain on her head, neck, and left shoulder area,” the report says.
