Casey, Australia – A distressing incident at an AC/DC concert has spurred Kelly Warren, the owner of Bk 2 Basic, to seek public assistance as she searches for footage that may shed light on a violent attack involving her son and husband. The assault occurred at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on November 16 around 9 PM.
Keenan Warren, 26, sustained serious injuries, including a broken nose and damage to his eyes, according to his mother. She revealed that he will require surgery to address these injuries, which are not only physical but have also taken a psychological toll on both him and his father, Craig Warren.
The confrontation reportedly began when Keenan stood up during the performance, drawing the ire of two men seated several rows behind him. Ms. Warren shared in an online post that her son was sitting quietly when the assailants attacked him from the side without any warning. “He had no idea what was coming,” she said, emphasizing the brutal nature of the assault.
In the wake of the attack, Craig confronted the attackers in an attempt to understand why they had targeted his son. However, this action led to his removal from the concert by both police and security personnel. “Craig has never had any run-ins with the law. He was just trying to defend his child when nobody would listen,” Ms. Warren explained. Official reports indicate that both Craig and Keenan were ejected from the venue but left without further incident.
The family is also actively involved in their community, managing a non-profit organization aimed at combating food insecurity and homelessness in Narre Warren. The tickets for the concert had been a gift from Keenan’s sister, Shanleigh Scott, who has since filed a formal complaint with the MCG regarding the incident. She described the situation as “unacceptable and deeply distressing,” particularly noting that her family had simply aimed to enjoy the concert.
Scott detailed the events in a communication to the venue, expressing concerns over the inappropriate remarks made by others in the audience before her brother was attacked. She stated that when Keenan attempted to address the tensions, two other men intervened and struck him violently, resulting in his injuries.
As the investigation continues, police have reported that a total of 24 individuals were evicted throughout the evening, primarily for anti-social behavior. Authorities are urging anyone with information or footage of the incident to come forward to assist in their ongoing inquiry.
The MCG has been approached for comment, but there has been no response as of yet. Meanwhile, the Warren family hopes that increased awareness will lead to justice and help prevent similar incidents at future events.
