Hundreds of people have been injured at a water park in Taiwan after a cloud of coloured powder exploded in the air during a live event erupting into a huge fireball, said reports.

According to New York Post, 194 have been seriously injured, including eight with life-threatening injuries, out of the total 516 people.

No deaths have been reported with reports suggesting that most of the people suffering burns were in their 20s.

The video taken at the scene showed the flames erupting among the crowd at the event called 'Color Play Asia'.

'Color Play Asia' bills itself as Asia's biggest colour party, an event where the people dance to music while spraying each other with coloured powder.

 

The water park, Formosa Fun Coast, is north of Taipei, the island's capital city.
