Ava Max says a fan slapped her 'so hard' on stage just days after Bebe Rexha had a phone thrown at her head

• Ava Max was slapped by a man who hopped onstage during a concert in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
• Max addressed the incident saying the man "scratched the inside of my eye."

Singer Ava Max said she was slapped by a fan during her concert in Los Angeles Tuesday night — just days after pop star Bebe Rexha had a cell phone thrown at her.

A video circulating on social media shows a man seemingly striking Max, whose real name is Amanda Ava Koci, while she was performing. A security guard can then be seen intervening, removing the person from the stage.

According to one fan on Twitter who said they were at the event, the incident occurred during the last song of Max's set at the Fonda Theatre.

Early Wednesday morning, Max addressed the incident on Twitter, writing: "He slapped me so hard that he scratched the inside of my eye. He's never coming to a show again thank you to the fans for being spectacular tonight in LA though!!"

Neither representatives for Max nor the Los Angeles Police Department immediately responded to requests for comment.

Max has had several hits including "Sweet but Psycho," which reached No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 in the UK, "Kings & Queens," and "The Motto" with Tiësto.

The incident occurred just days after Rexha was taken to hospital after a man threw a phone at the stage, striking her in the head.

A spokesperson for the New York Police Department told Insider that New Jersey resident Nicolas Malvagna, 27, was arrested following the incident and has been charged with assault.

"A preliminary investigation on scene determined that a 27-year-old male intentionally threw a cell phone at a 33-year-old female performer on stage, striking her about the face," according to the NYPD statement.

"The individual was taken into custody on scene and removed to the 1st Precinct for arrest processing. The aided female was removed by EMS to an area hospital in stable condition."

Rolling Stone reported that Rexha received stitches following the incident, citing a family member.

The 33-year-old singer later shared a picture of herself with a black eye on Instagram and captioned the post: "I'm good."

Over the last year, fans have been criticized on numerous occasions for throwing objects at musicians while they perform on stage.
