YARMOUTH, N.S. -- Four people went to hospital Tuesday after a popular ride at the Western Nova Scotia Exhibition malfunctioned in Yarmouth.
RCMP say that metal pieces connected to a seat on a ride called "The Scrambler" came loose.
Corp. Jen Clarke says those pieces struck two children on another seat and the ride then stopped abruptly.
Police say two young children were transported by ambulance to the Yarmouth Hospital as a precaution.
The woman and a 10-year-old boy who were in the broken seat were taken by family members to the hospital later on.
RCMP described the injuries as "bumps and bruises."
The Nova Scotia Department of Labour is investigating.
The Scrambler has been shut down until the investigation is complete and the ride is deemed safe.
