I imagine the fresh air must have got him all fired up.

From the article link so additional information:

• "As he was walking towards the restroom, a man, whom he did not know, approached him and struck him on the head with the blunt end of a pistol. Mr. Nakorn was unable to identify the assailant and said he did not know the motive behind the attack."

So left the stage area into a crowd, heading to the restroom. Maybe mistaken for someone else.
