PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Singer Bebe Rexha will be performing Tuesday night in Philadelphia just days after being struck by a cellphone during a sold-out New York City concert.
A spokesperson for The Fillmore Philadelphia told Action News Rexha will perform at the Fishtown venue despite her injury.
The 33-year-old pop star was taken to the hospital to be checked out after the incident, which occurred around 10 p.m. Sunday during a show at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in Lower Manhattan, the latest stop on her "Best F*n Night of My Life" tour.
Nicolas Malvagna, a 27-year-old concertgoer from Manalapan, New Jersey, was arrested and charged with assault for allegedly throwing the cellphone at Rexha.
Video shared by concertgoer Alex Chavez shows the moment Rexha was struck by the phone, which hit her in her upper left cheek, right below her eye.
"Absolutely great show ruined by a fan throwing their phone at @BebeRexha hopefully she is ok after that," Chavez wrote alongside the video.
As seen in the clip, she fell to her knees and crew members rushed to her aid.
Chavez spoke to 'Good Morning America,' saying, "They turned on the lights and we started heading for the exits. That was definitely a hard hit and shouldn't have happened after such a great night."
On Monday morning, Rexha posted to Instagram a photo of her sporting a black eye with the caption, "I'm good."
