According to Variety, who spoke to a source from Prikið Kaffihús, the establishment the incident occurred outside of, the actor was being approached by several female fans who were "quite pushy." Miller then confronted one of them, which is what can be seen in the video above. The cafe treated it as a serious altercation and escorted the agitated young actor off the premises.

Some fans have also tossed out the idea that they would prefer someone else in the role of The Flash anyway:
