Pop star Ava Max was slapped in the face while on stage Tuesday night in Los Angeles – only days after Bebe Rexha was hit in the face by a phone while performing in New York City.

“He slapped me so hard that he scratched the inside of my eye,” Max, 29, tweeted. "He’s never coming to a show again.”

The man who rushed the stage was intercepted by security just as he extended his hand towards the singer as she spun around. It is not clear if he intended to assault Max or if it was an accident.

There has been no report of an arrest.

Max is scheduled to perform Thursday in San Francisco.

On Sunday, Rexha was injured when a man threw a mobile phone at her. Police arrested Nicolas Malvagna, 27, and charged him with assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault and harassment.
