Travis Scott fan suffers seizure after being allegedly fly-kicked by a security guard as rapper's Melbourne show descends into chaos

A concert-goer reportedly suffered a seizure after getting fly-kicked by one security personnel during a Travis Scott concert at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium on Wednesday, October 23. He was one of five fans who were taken to the hospital after being tackled by the security when they forced their way past a barrier.

Travis Scott was scheduled to perform two shows at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium on October 22 and October 23, respectively, as part of his Circus Maximus Tour. The first show allegedly saw people brawl, riot with the police, and break security barricades after enduring extended wait times.

However, things allegedly escalated at the second concert as two male fans jumped the barricade to get close to Travis Scott before being stopped by security. One fan was quickly taken down, but the other ran in a different direction.

Stunned fans watched in horror as he was fly-kicked by a security guard before having a seizure while he was restrained. He was reportedly removed from the stadium and handed over to medical professionals.

The crowd reportedly was on the brink of mayhem throughout the concert, and many attendees shared other instances of aggression and unruly scenes that kept popping up throughout the show.

The Melbourne incident wasn't the first Travis Scott concert that resulted in medical emergencies. At least eight people died and hundreds were injured in a stampede during Travis Scott's Astroworld music festival in Houston's NRG Park on November 5, 2021.

During Scott's show, over fifty thousand attendees started compressing to come close to the stage. This resulted in a huge stampede and mass injuries. At one point before the cascading stampede started, Scott interrupted his set to ask the security staff to clear the chaos.

“Security, somebody help, jump in there real quick. Somebody jump in, come on, come on, security,” Travis Scott could be heard saying in fan-made video clips from the show.

According to a report by the New York Post, a total of 11 people from the show were hospitalized because of cardiac arrest, and around 300 were treated at the field hospital. The total number of people hospitalized during the event was 23, which included a 10-year-old child.

Scott's ex-girlfriend Kylie Jenner was also in attendance alongside their three-year-old daughter Stormi. However, both Kylie and Stormi were unharmed.

Houston Fire Chief Samuel Pena confirmed the total death count and other details surrounding the stampede.

“We had at least eight confirmed fatalities tonight and scores of individuals that were injured. The mass casualty incident was triggered at 9.38 this evening,” informed Samuel Pena to the reporters.

The incident resulted in over a hundred lawsuits against Travis Scott and promoters Live Nation who were involved in the event. However, they were later ruled out because the court inferred that no single individual was 'criminally responsible' for the catastrophe.

After the catastrophe, Astroworld's X account released a statement offering their condolences to the families of people who lost their lives during the concert. They also assured that the local police would be supported in their investigation.
