Two people were hurt Thursday night when strong winds caused a carnival tent to overturn at the annual Italian American Social Club of North Brunswick carnival.
The incident happened around 8 p.m. when a storm blew through the area. The wind lifted up the tent, and it fell on top of two people.
Police officers helped the people out from under the tent and got them medical attention. They were not seriously injured.
The carnival was supposed to stay opened until 11 p.m., but closed shortly after the incident.
The carnival is expected to continue Friday.
