Afroman was reportedly arrested last night after punching a woman in the face during a show. Footage from the incident has now emerged online.
The rapper, probably best known for 2001 hit 'Because I Got High', was performing in Biloxi, Mississippi when a young woman made her way onto the stage and began dancing behind him.
After ignoring her for a minute or so, he very suddenly spun round and punched the woman in the face, causing her to fall to the floor. After a slight pause, he then went back to playing the guitar. Perhaps most shocking is the crowd's muted response to the incident.

According to TMZ, the show was eventually stopped by the police, who escorted him off stage and arrested him for assault. He was then released after paying a $330 bond.
A spokesperson for the rapper said, "This was a completely involuntary reflex reaction to people infringing on his stage space. It was uncharacteristic behaviour that was initiated by outside uncontrolled forces."
This shouldn't really need saying, but there is absolutely nothing "involuntary" about punching someone in the face.
