Footage of the incident shows a frightened Jonas running from the stage, prompting the show to be delayed for several minutes.
Nick Jonas bolted off stage during a Jonas Brothers concert in Prague on Tuesday night after a laser pointer was aimed at his head, causing the show to be stopped for several minutes.
Footage of the incident circulated afterward on social media showing a frightened Jonas running backstage while frantically flashing a “time out” sign with his hands.
A representative for Prague’s O2 Arena confirmed in a statement to Variety on Wednesday that the concert had been delayed and noted that laser pointers are prohibited at the venue.
“We can confirm that the Jonas Brothers’ performance had to be interrupted for several minutes due to the use of a prohibited laser pointer by the person,” the spokesperson said. “The organizing service responded to this fact. After a few minutes, the band continued their performance.”
Concertgoers have exhibited increasingly aggressive behavior toward performers after a pandemic-era lull in performances.
