R&B star Monica said concerts have almost become a 'dangerous space' after she jumped off the stage to help a woman being attacked in the crowd

• R&B Singer Monica jumped off the stage at her concert to help a woman who was being assaulted in the crowd.
• She told CNN's Abby Phillip that concerts are almost becoming a "dangerous space."

After jumping off the stage to help a woman who was being assaulted by a man in the crowd at her Saturday show, R&B star Monica says she's worried concerts are close to becoming a "dangerous space" for fans.

A video posted on Twitter shows the confrontation at Detroit's Riverfront Music Festival, prompting her to get involved. At first, Monica addressed the situation from the stage following her song "Why I Love You So Much."

"Wait a minute," the singer said. "Don't you hit her like that," the video shows. She then appears to ask security to kick the man out.

She then climbed off the stage, addressing the man herself.

"You don't hit no fucking lady like that," Monica said into her microphone from the crowd.

Speaking with CNN's Abby Phillip, Monica said her reaction was "just instincts."

"I didn't want to see her hurt or harmed and her not make it back home after just coming to be a concertgoer," Monica said. "These concerts have become what almost feels like a dangerous space and place and I just really want that to change."

Monica added that she does not feel like a "superhero." Rather, she was just trying to "de-escalate" a "situation that could have been escalated even further."

The incident at Monica's concert in Detroit is the latest in a string of violent affairs to have recently occurred at music concerts in the US.

At a concert in New York City on June 18, pop star Bebe Rexha had a cell thrown at her face by a fan while she was performing.

She was hospitalized and needed three stitches for her injury.

New Jersey resident Nicolas Malvagna, 27, was subsequently charged with assault. He said he threw the phone at Rexha because he thought "it would be funny."

On June 20, singer Ava Max was then slapped by a male fan during her concert in Los Angeles.

In a video of the incident, a man can be seen striking Max, whose real name is Amanda Ava Koci, while she was performing. A security guard then intervenes and removes the person from the stage.

The next day, 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."
