Bruce Dickinson blasted the security at a venue in Washington after witnessing a security guard punch a fan in the head.

On Iron Maiden’s “Legacy of the Beast” tour, things took a turn for the worst when the singer noticed a fan being assaulted multiple times in the crowd. He promptly stopped the show to tend to the fan and brought him backstage.

“We’ve got an Iron Maiden fan backstage who’s had the shit kicked out of him by ten security guards,” he addressed the audience. “I saw one security guard lean over the barrier and punch a kid half his size in the face four times.”

“I hope that kid takes this building to the fucking cleaners,” he said bluntly.
