A man at a recent KoRn concert was punched by a fan and removed by security for allegedly masturbating in public.
Per Loudwire, the alleged incident occurred on Wednesday (August 27) as the band kicked off the first of a two-night stint at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, where System of a Down also co-headlined.
Another concertgoer claimed to have captured the incident on video and later shared it on TikTok. It was captured from several rows behind the perpetrator, who can allegedly be seen touching himself in his seat, which reportedly happened as KoRn kicked off their set.
The clip goes on to show another fan climb over rows of seats and hit the offender in the back of the head for engaging in the lewd act. Several members of the stadium’s security team and a few police officers then approached the man, attempting to remove him from his seat as he held onto the wall in front of him in resistance.
They were eventually able to remove him from the seat and escort him out of the venue.
According to comments on the original video, the fan who hit the alleged perpetrator was later arrested, which fellow concert-goers were not happy about given his efforts to stop the man, with one gig-goer commenting: “We bought bro who helped get him to stop merch after his arrest.”
As of the time of writing, no public statement has been made by MetLife Stadium or local law enforcement about the incident.
The day after the incident, charity organisation Bad Ass Animal Rescue hosted a merch pop-up and adoption event in collaboration with Jonathan Davis‘ Freak On A Leash pet line.
Back in 2022, Davis launched the pet brand – named after the Korn track of the same name – and earlier this year debuted a new collection for the line.
The collection, which is made in collaboration with designer Ashton Michael – who has worked with Doja Cat, Post Malone, Megan Thee Stallion and more – was released bakc in April, with a portion of the proceeds going to Pup Culture Rescue, a nonprofit dog rescue based in Pasadena, California.
In other KoRn-related news, the band served as one of the headliners of Download Festival this year, and went on to say the fellow headliners Sleep Token “shut everybody up” with their set at Donnington.
