A teenage boy has been arrested and charged after ‘punching a woman unconscious’ during a Central Cee concert.
The British rapper – real name Oakley Neil Caesar-Su – rose to fame five years ago with the release of his drill singles Day in the Life and Loading, with his first mixtape Wild West debuting at number two on the UK Albums Chart.
His 2023 song Sprinter also holds the titles of being the longest-running number one rap song in the UK, holding the position for 10 weeks, and the most streamed UK rap song ever.
The 27-year-old is currently on his Can’t Rush Greatness World Tour, performing in Australia over the past week.
However, during his Perth concert, a shocking incident unfolded which left a woman being attacked and a teenager now in custody.
On Wednesday night’s show at RAC Arena a 17-year-old, who was in the seated section, allegedly turned around and started attacking a 25-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman watching the show.
Witnesses alleged the boy started throwing punches about 9.40pm and continued for over two minutes, as reported by PerthNow.
A video shared on TikTok also captured part of the jaw-dropping incident.
Concertgoer Campbell Darby, who was sitting next to the woman, said he was left shaken after witnessing the attack.
‘They were right next to me, and I had to move out of the way, but the girl was knocked out, fully unconscious,’ he told the same publication.
‘I had to help the people next to me get out of the way, so they didn’t get hit.
‘It completely turned my night around, and the people I was with were very shaken up after seeing that happen right in front of our eyes and seeing the poor girl unconscious on the floor.’

Perth police have since charged the boy with one count each of assault occasioning bodily harm and common assault.
A WA Police spokesperson explained that officers had been patrolling the venue before being alerted to a physical altercation about 9.45pm.
‘It will be alleged a 17-year-old male assaulted a 25-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman,’ they said.
‘Both victims sustained bruising to the head and face.
‘It will be further alleged; the juvenile resisted arrest and was verbally abusive towards officers.’
The boy was also charged with one count each of disorderly behaviour in a public place and obstructing public officers.
Another witness, Don Salapang, said she and the people she was with at the gig were all ‘so scared and in shock’. She added that it was even more jarring given there were ‘young kids around’.
The boy is due to face Perth Children’s Court on July 29.
Metro has contacted WA Police and representatives for Central Cee for comment.
