On Friday, July 6, the CBGB Fest show that took place at New York City's Webster Hall was cancelled after two current members of the CRO MAGS were allegedly stabbed by Harley Flanagan (the founding member of the CRO MAGS). The incident occurred right after VISION OF DISORDER's set!
As seen on the NY Post: Around 8:15 PM, while the CRO MAGS were getting ready to take the stage, Harley Flanagan, 42, made his way into the venue’s VIP section toward the bands dressing room, sending nearly 30 guests on the balcony into a frenzy, law enforcement sources and witnesses said.
This morning at 100 Centre Street in New York City, Flanagan, accused of having attacked former band members walked away with an adjournment. There will be no further action on the matter, until December 5, 2012.
As Flanagan stated, "They should be embarrassed that they jumped me and I am going to court for putting them in the hospital."

Cro-Mags shows were always insane, but being this is a CBGB Fest, its unsettling to still see the violence hasn't been squashed. Settle your disputes personally, not as a spectacle for all to see.
