Trapped Under Ice Allegedly Breaks Fan’s Jaw

While details are still foggy at this moment, unconfirmed reports are coming in that Baltimore’s Trapped Under Ice seemed to have one-uped Ben Weasel at SXSW. It is being alleged that while performing a show at Essen, Germany on March 26th, Trapped Under Ice vocalist Justice Tripp fell into the crowd after someone in the crowd did a pile-on/stage dive. Tripp then reacted by punching the fan in the face two times before being joined by their guitarist who continued beating the fan.

Jumping back on stage, Tripp said “I’m not a fucking superhero, don’t jump on me, don’t you fucking hit me” and continued to taunt the crowd member for several minutes. The altercation resulted with the fan suffering from a broken jaw that required surgery.

As so many things are these days, the entire incident was captured on camera and can be seen below. The uploader described the incident saying:

“US hardcore band Trapped Under Ice played a show and a kid who loved the band jumped over the singer (aka pile-on / stagedive) so he could sing-a-long, they both fell down the stage (absolutely no harm to the kid NOR the singer because of this), the singer then hit the kid two times in the face, the kid in defense not really knowing what the fuck was going on hit back, then chaos ensued, another member of the band left the stage and together with his singer started severly beating and stomping the kid resulting in a broken jaw that needed surgery.”

The video can be seen below. The fight breaks out around the 15 second mark.
