The video is currently doing rounds on the internet; however, it's unclear what time exactly the incident unfolded, but the victim told KTLA that when the woman and her friend got to their seats, they accidentally spilt a bit of a drink on a man in front of them.
The woman also quoted The Festive Owl, a music news outlet that first reported the incident, which said, 'We apologised immediately, but he yelled that it was intentional and ran off, leaving his companion behind." "We apologised to her and thought it was over."
In the viral footage of the violent attack, the man can be seen launching into a group of people and throwing at least five punches back to back. However, someone behind him also tried to pull him out of the crowd.

Accused left the woman unconscious and bleeding
As per the report, the unidentified concertgoer returned about a half hour later and began screaming at the victim and her friends, threatening violence. On the other hand, she said she tried de-escalating the situation by apologising again; the man punched her in the face, knocking her unconscious and causing significant bleeding.
Since the footage has now gone viral, netizens have complained that the venue did a less-than-stellar job of managing the sold-out stadium show.
Eyewitnesses and netizens slam the incident
According to Grimy Goods, the independent Los Angeles-based music blog, "Among the long laundry list of complaints was crowd crushing in tunnels, people pushing in overcrowded stairs, aggressive drunk people, arguments, fans blocking exits, incredibly long shuttle lines, and, sadly, assault."
Christina Molina, another attendee at the concert that night, was sitting a few rows behind the victim with her daughter and said, 'I literally had people pressed up against my back, all of them blocking that entire walkway,' she told KTLA. 'So, crowd control was nonexistent.'
While one user asked, "Where was the fiancé!!!!????" "He's fighting a guy. She got in the way."
One assumed, "The fact that no man intervened leads me to believe the woman assaulted him first. Stole from him. SOMETHING. There's definitely more to this."
'What serial killer hair cut is that? Geezus! Internet 🛜 we need to identify him,' one added.
Another said, 'This is why women should always carry pepper spray.' 'Not a single man in that crowd. Absolutely pathetic that these "men" didn't step in and stop that.'
'Looks like a Grant... an Immigrant.'
