It's understandable how someone might get a little carried away at a Beyoncé and Jay Z concert.

On Saturday, though, one concertgoer got really out of hand when he allegedly bit off another man's fingertip. Yes, according to Los Angeles County booking records (obtained by Pasadena Star-News), 25-year-old Roberto Alcaraz-Garnica of San Diego was arrested inside the Rose Bowl after allegedly groping the victim's girlfriend and subsequently biting off the tip of his finger.

Pasadena police Lt. John Luna said, per the paper, that a fight ensued after Alcaraz-Garnica allegedly groped a woman in her 20s. "During the altercation, the suspect bit the victim, causing serious injury to his finger," the lieutenant said. "He lost the tip of one of his fingers."

The suspect was detained by police and taken into custody, where he was reportedly held in lieu of $100,000 bail.

This wasn't the only On the Run related arrest police made Saturday, though. Of an estimated 55,000 fans at the concert, police reportedly arrested 11 people in total: eight for public drunkenness, two for ticket scalping and, of course, the alleged finger-biter.

These arrests didn't hinder other concertgoers fun, though. Bey and Jay had another On the Run show at the Rose Bowl Sunday night, which was jam-packed with celebs including Jessica Alba, Lea Michele, Stevie Wonder, Kelly Rowland, Ellen Pompeo, Zachary Quinto and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

It seems, so far, at least, the stars were all on their best behavior.
