Country singer Gavin Adcock narrowly avoided a dangerous moment with a fan who tried to lunge at him during a recent performance.
Adcock was performing in Wichita, Kansas, on Aug. 21, when a man jumped from the front row onto the stage, appearing to lunge at the singer.
In a TikTok video filmed by a concertgoer, the man knocked over the microphone stand before rolling onto the stage. He tried to stand, but a security guard tackled him.
Audience members cheered as a security guard wrestled the man to the ground and appeared to subdue him with a chokehold before more guards rushed the stage and escorted him off the platform while he continued to struggle.

"Get his drunk a-- out of here!" Adcock said as six security guards dragged the man off the stage, a comment met with loud cheers from the crowd.
Adcock then held up a bottle of whiskey and told the crowd the incident was the kind of moment that "calls for a shot of Jack Daniel’s." He quickly resumed his show and performed his next song.

The incident comes amid a larger trend of disruptive fans at concerts.
Fellow country singer Braxton Keith abruptly ended his Aug. 22 concert in Ardmore, Oklahoma, after audience members started throwing beer cans on stage.
"Y’all, I know that most of y’all are behaving yourselves tonight," he can be heard saying in a fan-captured TikTok video. "But there’s a bunch of people up here that are having a good time, and then there’s a bunch of beer throwing.
"Listen, I don’t come to any of y’all’s jobs and do anything like that to y’all. So, until y’all can learn some concert etiquette, my name is Braxton Keith. Thank y’all for coming out to Ardmore, Oklahoma, tonight."
