A man stormed the stage at Run The Jewels' SXSW performance yesterday (16 March) and attempted to punch Killer Mike. Watch the incident below.
The duo were part way through their set when a man appeared onstage and began aggressively approaching Killer Mike, who made moves to defend himself before the man was intercepted by RTJ's security team.
After he'd left the stage, fan-shot footage shows the man continuing to fight with members of the audience and the band's security, with one man even punching him in the face.

El-P later took to Twitter to apologise for the incident, and assure fans and attackers alike, "We are about peace but don't make the mistake of thinking we are alone."
