Concertgoer left ‘bloody and hyperventilating’ at Guns N’ Roses show in Adelaide after frontman Axl Rose threw a microphone into the audience

A concertgoer in Adelaide was injured on Tuesday evening during a performance by American rockers Guns N’ Roses.

The band’s frontman, Axl Rose, allegedly punched a woman in the face with his microphone after throwing it into the audience at the end of the band’s final song.

Rebecca Howe told the Adelaide advertiser that the microphone hit her on the bridge of the nose, leaving her bloodied and hyperventilating.

The post-event photo shows Ms. Howe with severe bruising on her face, under both eyes and on her nose.

She told the publication she was hit when Axl, real name William Bruce Rose Jr, threw his microphone into the audience after finishing the song, Take Me Down To Paradise City.

After she was beaten, Ms Howe said an off-duty police officer took her aside and cared for her, trying to stop the bleeding from her nose.

“I was in shock and hyperventilating,” Ms Howe claimed. “My mind went, ‘Oh my God, my face has collapsed’.”

She said she was concerned that other concertgoers might be injured as Guns N’ Roses continued their tour in Melbourne on December 3.

‘What if [the microphone] was a few inches to the right or left?,” she said.

“I could have lost an eye… if my head had turned and it had put me to sleep, it could have killed me.”

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Guns N’ Roses management for comment.

It is not the first time that a fan in Australia has been injured during a Guns N’ Roses performance.

Darren Wright, from Perth, was punched in the mouth during the band’s 2013 tour, damaging two of his front teeth.

He later used the court to sue for damages to recover $5,000 in dental expenses.

As Ms Howe tried to regain her composure, she said nearby concertgoers rushed to claim the microphone that had been thrown into the crowd as a souvenir.  Pictured: Axl Rose and Slash on stage during Guns N' Roses 'Not In This Lifetime' Tour in 2017 in Perth
