Turnstile's Brendan Yates stopped the band's show at The Criterion in Oklahoma City on Monday night to have a security guard removed.
During "Keep It Moving," a fan tried to make it onto the stage. Fan video shows a guard slamming the fan to the ground and swinging at them, and Yates halted the song, confronted the guard and demanded he be pulled. "He's done, he's done!"
"To the security that's doing a great job, a great job at what you're doing, thank you. There are some that didn't get the assignment," Yates told the crowd. "There's no need for anyone to be swinging on anyone just coming over the barrier. That security guard cannot be here."
The moment came two days after Turnstile played Saturday Night Live, the first hardcore band on the show in 45 years.
