Harry Styles became the latest pop star to be assaulted during a live performance when a thrown object struck him in the face while he was on stage in Vienna.

On Saturday, Harry Styles was in the Austrian capital as part of his worldwide Love on Tour concert. The singer was walking down the stage with microphone in hand when a flying object struck him in the face, causing him to wince in pain and cover his face with his hand.

It remains unclear how seriously Styles was hurt during the incident.

The assault is the latest in a growing trend of  pop stars getting hit in the face while performing live.
