A New York Comic Con event turned ugly on Thursday when a panelist at a Javits Center Q&A for “Helluva Boss” fans took a heckler problem into his own hands.
Video of the event shows voice actor Brandon Rogers addressing the unruly spectator who continually interrupted guest speakers.
“You need to shut the f–k up right now,” Rogers snapped from the stage. “I’m going to jump over this fence and end you. It’s not cute.”
The back and forth continued as Rogers got out of his seat and made his way toward the crowd. He wondered aloud if a security guard, perhaps one with a bulletproof vest, was in the room.
“Is anyone working this f—ing event?” he asked. “Can someone please get this motherf—er the hell out of here?”

ReedPop, the event’s coordinators, told Variety they’re aware of the disturbance and are taking measures to make sure nothing like that happens again.
“While the situation was addressed after the panel, action was not taken swiftly enough, and we apologize to the panelists, moderator, and fans in attendance for the disruption,” ReedPop said in a statement.
Organizers haven’t responded to a Daily News request for comment.

IMDb describes “Helluva Boss” as an “adult animated comedy” about “a band of demon assassins from Hell who kill people on Earth for a living.”
The show’s season three streaming premiere airs Wednesday on Amazon Prime.
Comic Con got underway Thursday. It runs through Sunday. The massive event featuring writers, illustrators, actors and products spanning the comic and animation spectrum is celebrating its 20th anniversary.
