Revellers at a raucous student party literally raised the roof and had to hold the ceiling in their hands after it collapsed on top of them at a nightclub.

Hundreds of ravers from Newcastle University were partying at MSA (Music Slash Art) in the city when the ceiling panels came loose at 2 am this morning (February 22).

A video shows dozens of dancers and security using their hands to keep the roof in place and prevent it from collapsing on to their heads.

The nightclub was eventually evacuated and no injuries were reported.
