New York Police Department has arrested 27-year-old Nicolas Malvagna, who’s been charged with two counts of assault, one count of harassment, one count of aggravated harassment, and one count of attempted assault, Rolling Stone reported.

He reportedly said he was “trying to see if he could” hit the singer with his phone at the end of the show because he thought “it would be funny,” Variety noted.

[You know what I think would be hilarious? Seeing this guy do several months in jail. That’d be a *riot*. I’ll bet that he ends up with some unsupervised probation and a fine, but until courts apply real consequences to malevolent perps like this, their nonsense will continue. Performers are vulnerable enough on stage without this kind of *humor* and attempt to hijack attention. — Ed]
