As Courtney Love will tell you, throwing a mic around the stage can get you in trouble if said mic ends up hitting a member of the audience. Now 50 Cent is reportedly wanted for police questioning after a fan claimed the rapper threw a microphone in his face.

According to the News of the World, rap fan Tom Wilshire was knocked unconscious by the mic as the rapper was booed off stage at the Reading Festival. As previously reported, 50 Cent and his G-Unit band were pelted with a hail of plastic water bottles from rock fans at the festival. The 18-year-old, from Pewsham, Wiltshire said: "His parting gift to the crowd was to hurl his microphone into the audience. It hit me and my legs went from under me."
