NEW YORK — The New Jersey man accused of throwing a cellphone at singer Bebe Rexha during a New York City concert allegedly said he tried to hit her, according to a criminal complaint.
The Brooklyn-born Rexha left Sunday’s show at Lower Manhattan’s The Rooftop at Pier 17 after she was struck in the face by a phone.
“I was trying to see if I could hit her with the phone at the end of the show because it would be funny,” the suspect, Nicolas Malvagna, allegedly told a witness who spoke to police, according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
