Nicolas Malvagna, of Manalapan, "intentionally" threw the phone at the 33-year-old artist, hitting her in her face and causing her to collapse to her knees during her Sunday, June 18 performance, at The Rooftop at Pier 17, a spokesperson for the NYPD tells Daily Voice.
Malvagna was arrested on scene and processed at a nearby police station. Rexha was taken by EMS to an area hospital in stable condition.
Rexha, who is scheduled to perform in Philadelphia on Tuesday, June 20, posted a pair of photos to Instagram captioned, "I'm good," and a video to TikTok, too. Malvagna has reportedly been charged with assault.
A Twitter user posted a video of the incident.
