According to Loudwire.com, Cro-Mags‘s bassist and vocalist Harley Flanagan claims he was allegedly “sliced with a razor or something” and allegedly sprayed with pepper spray before the band’s show at the Cafe 611 in Frederick, Maryland on September 12.
However, a group accused Flanagan of allegedly instigating the alleged altercation by claiming the singer and his team allegedly threatened, allegedly assaulted and allegedly robbed them.
In an Instagram posted on September 13, Flanagan stated: “A few people that everyone thought was with one of the bands, but turned out not to be caused a ruckus and one of them pulled out-mace by the merch table. I got sprayed my son got sprayed everybody in the room was gasping.”

The artist explains: “My eyes were burning and snot was coming out of my nose and I couldn’t see. I didn’t realize I was cut till I got to the hotel I just thought my pants got torn. I’m still not sure exactly how or why it all started.”
Flanagan claims that, “Two of them had ski masks on and were selling magazines and stuff this is why we all thought they were in or with one of the bands.” He continues, “These assholes obviously came to the show for problems because they had mace, a stun gun type baton and they dropped a bag that had a suture kit with stitches, needles and iodine in it so they must’ve been expecting something you don’t walk around with stuff like that. … I had to play the set with my eyes and skin burning.”
