( dpa )- At least 10 people were trampled to death in a stampede during a music concert accident in Indonesia's West Java capital of Bandung, local media reports said Sunday.

The melee occurred as the crowd jostled its way out the exit doors after an underground concert, state-run Antara news agency reported.

Most of the victims sustained broken bones on their legs and arms, the reports said.

Bandung's district police chief Bambang Suparsono was quoted as saying that around 60 people were questioned linked with the accident and three of the concert's organizers had been named suspects.

He said the organizers had allegedly distributed drinks that may have contained alcohol.
