Gym Class Hero arrested for attacking a fan

4 months ago 03rd Jul 12:01

Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy is the latest star to pay a visit to the police station after he was arrested on assault charges in St. Louis, Missouri for lashing out a fan during a concert.

The band were midway through a show on Tuesday night when McCoy reportedly took offence to an audience member's racial slurs, and invited the concertgoer onstage.

When the unnamed man lunged at the singer, McCoy went on the attack, whacking the fan on the head with a microphone.

Immediately after the altercation, McCoy apologised to the audience, stating, "When someone calls you something that's ignorant and that offensive, you have to bash their head in with a microphone".

Maryland Heights Missouri Police Department officials later arrested McCoy, who was released on $500 (£250) bail.
