Police in New York have filed charges against R&B type Akon in relation to that fan throwing incident back in June.
As previously reported, this incident, at a gig in Fishkill, a town North of New York, began when Akon got security guards to bring on stage a fifteen year old fan who had thrown something at him. After some on stage shenanigans Akon threw the fan back into the audience. It wasn't clear at the time how much the fan was party to whole thing - ie whether Akon was aiding an elaborate stage dive, or whether he was, in fact, assaulting a fan live on stage.
Either way, Abby Rosa, the girl that the fan landed on, wasn't impressed. She has told local reporters that she suffered concussion as a result of the stunt, and that she has hired a lawyer to look into suing the singer for negligence.
Meanwhile she reported the incident to Fishkill police who confirmed on Thursday that they are actively investigating the case, and that the singer has been ordered to appear at Fishkill Town Court today to face misdemeanour charges of endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree harassment. I'm not sure if the singer is accused of endangering and harassing the fifteen year old he threw in the audience, or the girl he landed on, or both.
Akon's people have not commented on the latest development, though back in June his lawyer claimed there was no basis for criminal charges in relation to the incident.
