Motley Crue has been taking over the world with their current Stadium Tour along with Def Leppard, Poison, and Joan Jett. Thousands of fans have attended their show already, but one unfortunate concertgoer experienced a harrowing accident that left him injured.

According to a report by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police, as cited by Loudwire, an intoxicated fan "stumbled over the railing" when the band performed at the Lucas Oil Stadium.

The victim was immediately taken to Eskenazi Hospital and is currently in "stable condition."

When officers got to him, he was conscious, "awake and breathing."

A spokeswoman for the venue issued a statement after the incident, saying the fan was aided by on-site paramedics and transported by an ambulance to a nearby hospital.

The representative, Monica Whitfield Brase, noted that they are not sure about the extent of the person's injuries, but he appeared to be communicating with paramedics when he left the venue to be treated.

"At this time we do not believe other guests or employees in the stadium were involved in the incident," she added.

Witnesses of Motley Crue's Fan Accident Speaks Out

Other concertgoers witnessed the tragic incident and revealed what they saw to WTHR-TV.

A fan named Steven Neely said he and other fans saw a figure fall down and they didn't think it was a person at first because the band tossed volleyballs and different items to the crowd.

However, when they heard two thuds, they knew it was a fan.

"Everybody was just kind of standing around and looking, trying to figure out what to do, who to talk to, who to get to come over to the landing and check the person out. We didn't know if they were breathing or not breathing, or what was going on," another fan said.

As of this writing, it's unclear if Motley Crue is aware of the accident.

Not the First Accident During Concert in Recent Months

The recent Motley Crue fan accident comes a few months after another concertgoer during a Harry Styles concert in Glasgow fell from the club deck.

In early reports, police officers from Scotland confirmed that a man fell from the balcony during the former One Direction singer's encore performance at around 10:15 p.m.

The fan, identified as 20-year-old Dylan Wood, was reportedly placed on life support and sustained two black eyes, concussion, and bruising.
