The incident happened during SLAYER's special set Thursday night (July 21) at the House Of Blues as part of Comic-Con's week of festivities.

 

Fan-filmed video footage of shows Araya flinching on stage and saying "Somebody just fucking spit on me" before repeatedly posing the question "What was that about?" to the allegedly disrespectful fan. Araya continued to gesture at the man, asking him "What was that about?" and "Why?" while the crowd started chanting "Throw him out! Throw him out!" The audience eventually got its wish as the fan in question was apparently escorted out of the venue before SLAYER launched into the next song of its set.
