A sheriff’s deputy appeared to deploy pepper spray right into a fan’s face throughout Turnstile’s September twenty fourth live performance in Richmond, Virginia. The incident occurred because the band carried out “Birds” and urged followers to hitch them on stage.
As captured in a fan video, a sheriff’s deputy on the entrance of the stage is seen pulling followers down as Turnstile bassist Franz Lyons and singer Brendan Yates are serving to others onto the stage, with Lyons intervening when a safety guard tried to cease different followers from becoming a member of the band. The deputy is holding what seems to be a canister of pepper spray and fires it immediately within the face of an attendee as makes an attempt to climb onto the stage. Lyons is visibly affected by the spray and rapidly guides Yates away from the chemical cloud. Watch the video beneath.
