McCreery calls incident 'absolutely unacceptable' on stage

Video circulating on social media captured the moment where the North-Carolina native called the incident "absolutely unacceptable" on stage.

"Right here, that’s a lady you just hit, sir," McCreery said while the crowd gasped. "Absolutely not, you just hit the lady. Police? Security? Is she OK? Get the heck out of here."

McCreery paused his performance of his hit song "It Matters To Her" while authorities intervened the alleged assault.

"On God’s green earth. At a Scotty McCreery show? What are you doing?" he said while pointing the alleged assailant out. "Y'all let the cop know who hit the lady."

McCreery's publicist did not respond to USA TODAY's request for comment.
