The fan-captured encounter went viral on social media as soon as it was uploaded. Many netizens have slammed the fan for concert etiquette, saying that it was never okay to assault an artist or any person in general.
As soon as the phone landed on her face, Bebe Rexha collapsed to the ground in pain from the direct hit. Shortly after, she was escorted off the stage. The attacker, 27-year-old Manalapan, New Jersey native Nicolas Malvagna, was arrested already.
He was already charged with two counts of assault, one count of harassment, one count of aggravated harassment and one count of attempted assault, Rolling Stone reports.
