Gym Class Heroes lead singer Travis McCoy was arrested last night in St. Louis on one charge of third-degree assault. The group had just finished the first song of their Warped Tour set, “Peace Sign,” when a black audience member near the front row called the New York-based singer a “fucking ignorant nigger.”
McCoy asked the man, “What did you just call me?” As security was removing him from the crowd, Travis reached down and broke his microphone over the man’s head. McCoy immediately apologized for his reaction. “I’m sorry. But when someone calls you something that ignorant and that offensive, you have to bash their head in with a microphone,” said McCoy. The audience cheered as the man in question was carried away by security. McCoy was arrested onstage at the end of his set.
