Korn’s recent concert in New Jersey has gone viral for all the wrong reasons.
A man was punched in the head by a fellow fan and dragged out of the concert by police for alleged public masturbation.
Korn and System of a Down performed at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium a few days ago, and since then, footage of the incident has been going gangbusters on social media.
A video of the man having a bit of a self-love moment was captured by a fan a few rows behind. We're not gonna link to the video - it's bloody crook - but you can hunt it down on the internet yourself if you wanna see it.
Allegedly, people were yelling at him to stop, and a drink was even thrown in an attempt.
After the failed attempts, another fan took it into his own hands, climbing over the rows and smacking the man across the back of the head.
Once the man is smacked, he looks around, very confused, and shortly after, the police and security came to the rescue and dragged him out.
The video shows the man holding onto the railing, trying to resist, but he was eventually taken out.
According to comments made online, the fan who punched him in the head was also later arrested.
New Jersey law says masturbating in public is indecent exposure and says “it is unlawful.” Duh?
Violating this law can result in a disorderly persons offence, and if the act is seen by someone under the age of 13 or someone “suffering from a mental disability or deficiency that prevents him from understanding the nature” of the conduct, it could be considered a fourth-degree crime.
Either way, this will show up on the guy's record permanently, and to say it's not a good look would be an understatement.
No public statement has been made by the stadium, local law enforcement, or Korn.
The good news is that, aside from this incident, the show was a massive success for Korn and System of a Down, with fans calling it “incredible”, “beautiful”, and “the best night ever”.
