Fans at the concert say tensions appeared to have been brewing over the course of several songs with some eyewitnesses suggesting Farrell began shouting at Navarro during 'Mountain Song'.

The tension only seemed to grow as the band played 'Three Days' before Farrell finally took aim and attacked Navarro at the end of 'Ocean Days.'

It saw the evening's entertainment come to an abrupt end.

Navarro appeared to be completely blindsided as crew members rushed on stage and grabbed Farrell in an attempt to pull him away.

Farrell was told to stop lunging towards Farrell and had to be restrained before he was dragged off stage by members of the crew and bassist Eric Avery, but he seemed particularly agitated.

The stage lights dimmed making it hard for those watching to see exactly what was taking place. The area was then bathed in a dark blue lighting while the band walk off.

Moments later, Navarro, Avery, and drummer Stephen Perkins reconvened onstage and hugged one another, waving to the crowd and making peace signs. Loyal fans in the crowd went wild as they clapped and cheered.

From the video there isn't an obvious trigger for Farrell, it seems unprovoked.

That band has always been volatile, I caught them on a good night back in the 90's and it was the best concert I've ever seen.

They walked off after 4 songs. Fans almost knocked over their tour bus outside. Fuck them. 4 songs? Thanks for picking my pocket.

Saw Porno for Pyros at an outdoor venue years ago. Good show. Three level stage. St the end there was a clown who, from what we all gathered, faked committing suicide at the end of the show.
