A heavy metal fan allegedly defecated in the middle of a moshpit, leaving concertgoers vomiting and fleeing the crowd.
The bizarre incident took place during a Devilskin show in Dunedin, New Zealand, where fans had packed into the venue for a night of live music.
As the crowd moshed to the band's music, many had no idea they were dancing through human waste until someone noticed what was on the floor.
One concertgoer, Damian, described witnessing the incident unfold, saying: "The guy who was directly in front of me proceeded to shake a log down his leg," per The Sun.
Show was paused as smell spread through venue
Damian said the man then kicked the feces away before accidentally stepping in it himself.
"We shuffled to the side a metre or three, then I realized that I needed to alert security," he recalled. "One guard came over, and verified with me the culprit and saw the offensive material on the floor."
Devilskin temporarily stopped the performance while security dealt with the situation.
When lead singer Jennie Skulander learned why the show had been interrupted, her reaction was simple: "Poo. EW!"
By that point, several people had already walked through the mess.
One person spoke about the chaotic scene. "It was a rock and metal concert so there was a lot of jumping," they said. "And then eventually someone must have, like, looked down and noticed that there was just a huge mess of s**t, just completely spread all in the mosh pit, like, all over the floor.
"It’s on people’s feet. People are wearing skirts and s**t is up their legs and stuff, and then one girl went bleh - just vomited on the s**t - and then everyone else starts vomiting," they added.
She added that the mess was "huge".
Fans left in tears
The smell reportedly became so overwhelming that people rushed out of the venue, leaving footprints behind them.
The attendee continued: "When this was happening, there’s people in the foyer, and you would have thought someone had died.
"They were just bawling their eyes out - they were just hysterical.
"There was one lady with vomit in her hair, s**t on her legs, and just crying, crying, crying," they claimed.
Although the concert eventually resumed, fans reportedly avoided the affected area, leaving a large space in the middle of the moshpit for the rest of the night.
Venue says it was a medical incident
After the concert, Devilskin appeared to see the funny side of the incident, joking on Instagram about their "Diaper of Doom."
Other fans also found their response hilarious. "As a Dad of two, I totally approve," one said, while another added: "lol, this is too good." A third quipped: "Comedic genius."
However, Daniel Leamy, president of the Otago University Students' Association, which operates the venue, has encouraged people to treat the situation with compassion.
"It was an unfortunate medical incident and should be respected as such," he said. "The individual involved remained fully clothed throughout, and this was in no way a deliberate 'code brown' situation. They were willingly escorted from the venue by security once staff had assessed the best course of action.
"Staff evaluated and managed an unforeseen and sensitive situation safely and professionally," the statement concluded.
