During her Best F*n Night of My Life Tour's stop in New York City last Sunday, Bebe Rexha was struck in the face by a phone thrown by a concertgoer. However, she has since recuperated and is in good health. 

On Friday, she shared a photo on Twitter, giving an update on her eye injury. The incident resulted in her eyebrow being split and requiring stitches. The concertgoer was subsequently arrested on assault charges.

The singer-songwriter, aged 33 and known for her song I'm Good (Blue), wrote, "My eye black and blue now but much better!!!! Thank you!!!" 

At a recent concert held at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in lower Manhattan, a member of the crowd named Nicolas Malvanga threw his phone at Bebe Rexha's face, causing her injury.

The incident prompted her to be escorted off stage and receive medical attention from the venue's medical team, as captured in footage shared by fans on Twitter.

According to The New York District Attorney's Office, the 27-year-old New Jersey resident who threw his phone at Bebe Rexha during her concert was arrested on Tuesday on several misdemeanor charges.

These included two counts of third-degree assault, second-degree aggravated harassment, third-degree attempted assault, and second-degree harassment.
