The incident happened mid-song during Rexha's performance at Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York and caused the singer to fall to her knees in pain. Crew members rushed to her aid, pulling her from the stage to be seen by medics.
"Bebe Rexha was taken to a hospital after being struck in the head by fan's phone at her show," Pop Crave shared with fans via Twitter. "Her mom confirmed the singer is getting stitches for the wound."
TMZ reported NYPD officers "responded to the scene and arrested the alleged culprit" while noting the charge was "upgraded to a felony" due to the suspect using the phone as a weapon.
No word from Bebe yet surrounding the incident, or if the injury will affect her upcoming tour dates. She has four shows scheduled this week with the first being in Philadelphia on June 20.
