JAKARTA - An incident occurred when a hardcore band from Baltimore, Turnstile, held a concert in Virginia, USA, where a security officer allegedly sprayed pepper gas on one of the fans.

As is known, Turnstyle is known for its habit of inviting fans to get on stage when performing the song "Birds". However, it seems that the moment was misunderstood by security officers.

In a video recorded by fans, a security officer on guard in front of the stage tries to prevent viewers from going up. At the same time, the band members actually took the fans up.

In the tape, it can be seen that the security officer took out a can filled with pepper gas and sprayed it directly into the face of an audience.

Suddenly Turnstile bassist Franz Lyons, who was nearby, looked shocked and immediately covered his eyes.

Responding to the incident, satisfactoris Sheriff Antoinette Irving, told CBS 6 News that his party was conducting an investigation. A fan who witnessed the incident also testified.

"I smelled the air that was a little 'smoking', then my eyes were watery. I thought, 'Oh, bad luck, this is pepper gas'," said the witness, quoted by NME, Tuesday, September 30.

"People pour water into someone else's eyes to clean it. I just need a moment to breathe, and cough a little," he continued.

For information, Turnstile is holding a tour in the United States starting September 15 in Nashville, where they have a duet with Hayley Williams to perform the song Seein' Stars.

Turnstile will continue to tour the country until next fall, supported by bands such as SPEED, Jane Remover, Mannequin chance, Blood Orange, and Amyl & The Laughers.
