Man Accused Of Pushing 81-Year-Old Usher At AC/DC Concert

September 2, 2016

According to Local10.com, a 50-year-old man was arrested for allegedly pushing an 81-year-old usher at an AC/DC concert in Sunrise, Florida.

Two detectives witnessed the victim asking Leslie Cookshott to clear the aisle at the BB&T Center, according to an arrest report. They then saw Cookshott pushing the usher will full force, causing him to fall into the seats.

Cookshott attempted to run from the scene before the detectives tackled him to the ground, the report said.

Cookshott, who was said to be "clearly intoxicated," was arrested on a felony battery charge against a victim over the age of 65.

The rescheduled dates of AC/DC's North American tour — which are the band's first concerts here with GUNS N' ROSES singer Axl Rose on lead vocals — kicked off Saturday night, August 27 at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina.
