The violent moment that went viral during a Rüfüs Du Sol concert has finally led to an arrest. Julio Cesar Lopez Zavala was taken into custody Thursday in Pasadena, California, facing multiple charges related to the brutal brawl that shocked fans.
According to Pasadena PD, Zavala was booked on:
- Felony battery with great bodily injury
- Felony assault with great bodily injury
- Misdemeanor battery
The charges stem from the August 16 incident at the Rose Bowl, which left a woman unconscious and stunned concertgoers across the stadium.
What Happened at the Concert
Video footage of the incident shows Zavala allegedly punching a woman unconscious while Rüfüs Du Sol performed on stage. Law enforcement sources say the altercation began after the woman accidentally spilled a drink on Zavala while walking to her seat.
The victim, who has chosen to remain anonymous, told KTLA that she immediately apologized, but Zavala accused her of doing it on purpose. According to her account, Zavala returned about 30 minutes later, screaming and threatening her before violently attacking her.
