El-P stated that the man who attacked him may be unstable.
No arrest were made and Austin Police said that the matter was handled by private security. Matt Sonzala, an independent promoter in Austin, told Buzzfeed that the man claimed Run the Jewels owed him money and stole his lyrics. Be careful out there folks.
