AceShowbiz - A Travis Scott (II) concertgoer in Melbourne, Australia, was reportedly taken to the hospital after suffering a seizure following an alleged assault by a security guard.
According to the DailyMail, the incident occurred on Wednesday night, October 23 during Scott's show at Marvel Stadium. Security guards were attempting to prevent brawling attendees when two men attempted to scale a barricade blocking off the seated area from the mosh pit.
One of the men reportedly fell to the floor after a security guard struck him with a "fly kick." The man was seen shaking uncontrollably and is suspected of having suffered a seizure. He was turned on his side and given medical attention, before being transported to the hospital on a stretcher.
The incident was captured on video and circulated on TikTok. Another video from closer range shows the man convulsing and having a seizure. Security guards held him in their arms until medical staff arrived.
A Marvel Stadium spokesman confirmed that they are reviewing footage of the incident. According to the spokesman, most of the 55,000 fans at the show "behaved appropriately," but some were denied entry or ejected due to misconduct.
An eyewitness told 9 News that they saw the man "hit his head" when he fell to the ground and that he was having a seizure when the security guard picked him up.
Travis Scott, 33, is currently on his Circus Maximus tour and has previously faced similar crowd issues at his shows in Melbourne and Sydney.
Back in 2021, Travis was under fire due to a deadly crowd surge at his 2021 Astroworld festival. Just recently, the rapper and LiveNation settled lawsuits with nearly 100 plaintiffs that claimed they were injured in the stampede.
