Washington, September 14 (ANI): A security guard has filed a lawsuit against rock star Axl Rose, alleging that the Guns N' Roses frontman kicked him in the head during a concert in 1996.

Gary Armijo says that Rose intentionally kicked him in the head during the show in Los Angeles, as a result of which he had suffered "severe physical injuries".

Rose attorney Howard Weitzman, however, said that the allegations levelled against his client in the suit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court were "frivolous".

"The allegations in this lawsuit are frivolous. There is video of this incident which contradicts the allegations against Axl," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

"Axl vehemently denies he did anything wrong, which will be proven via witnesses and the video. Unfortunately anyone can file a lawsuit whether it has merit or not. In my opinion, this is a pathetic attempt to get money from Axl," he added. (ANI)
