by Ryan Minic | Oct 4, 2011

Bring Me The Horizon were involved in a brawl during their show in Salt Lake City, Utah on Monday night with a handful of concertgoers who rushed the stage during the band’s set. Video footage is below.

Twenty to thirty hecklers reportedly instigated the fight by throwing water bottles at frontman Oli Sykes.

Sykes addressed the crowd, “Go home…get the fuck out of here!”

As the hecklers rushed the stage, one of the band’s guitarists hit an attacker with the head of his guitar.

The attackers reportedly fled the scene, breaking out a number of fights in the crowd.

Bring Me The Horizon returned to the stage later to perform a shortened set.
