Country star Cody Johnson was forced to pause his concert in San Antonio, Texas, on Saturday, June 21, after a fight broke out in the crowd during his performance of "God Bless America."
In a fan-captured TikTok video, fans can be seen grabbing at each other and falling to the ground in the crowd. Johnson addressed the brawl, telling the audience, "This is not a Travis Scott concert," seemingly referring to the 2021 Astroworld tragedy where 10 audience members were killed and thousands were injured due to a crowd crush.
Johnson continued, "There's kids in the crowd, there's all kinds of things in here that don't need to happen." Later, he informed the crowd that the police had arrived, which was met with cheers.

According to the Daily Mail, Johnson had spoken to the crowd about "unity and not being divided" before launching into "God Bless America." After the brawl, he joked, "Well, so much for my speech on not being divided."
Reps for Johnson have not yet responded to PEOPLE's request for comment.
