(NewsNation) — Country music singer Scotty McCreery stopped his concert over the weekend to help a concertgoer who was allegedly assaulted by a man in the audience.
A video posted online by concertgoer Jessica Rosario shows McCreery pause the show during the intro of his song “It Matters To Her” at the Colorado State Fair on Saturday.
“Right here, that’s a lady you just hit, sir,” McCreery said in the video, pointing out the alleged assailant. “Absolutely not, you just hit the lady. Police? Security? Is she OK? Get the heck out of here.”
He added: “On God’s green Earth. At a Scotty McCreery show? What are you doing? Y’all let the cop know who hit the lady. That’s absolutely unacceptable.”
People in the crowd pointed at a concertgoer who was eventually escorted out.
Authorities have not released the identities of the man and involved or said whether the man was arrested, People magazine reported.
Olga Robak, director of communications with the Colorado Department of Agriculture, confirmed to the magazine that “an incident took place at the Scotty McCreery concert where a man assaulted a woman and the performer stopped the show.”
He added that the Colorado State Fair security assisted with crowd control and the incident remains under investigation.
Anyone with information or footage of the attack is asked to contact Colorado State Fair Security at [email protected]
