Crystal Castles Attack Fan

If you've ever seen Crystal Castles live, you know their shows can sometimes get a bit out of control. It's not uncommon to have fans climbing on (Harbourfront 2008, anyone?) and over you at one of their gigs so they can get closer to singer Alice Glass.

The footage in the video below, which was uploaded to YouTube on Jan. 31, shows fans that are positively subdued for a Crystal Castles gig. But that might just be because there's a barrier between the crowd and the stage. But things go awry about a minute-and-a-half in when Glass appears to thwack a fan with her microphone and calls him a "fucker."

She then climbs up and over the crowd and continues swinging her microphone and smacking someone with it, while a security guard pulls her back. The security guy then goes into the crowd to eject the fan from the gig.

It's not clear when, where or why this happened (please tell us if you know), but here's the video:
