US country music star Riley Green ejected a fan from his Melbourne show on Saturday night after being struck in the face with a mobile phone.<\/p>\n
Green, who also has a starring role in the Yellowstone spin-off series, Marshalls, stopped the show after the hurled object made direct contact near his ear.<\/p>\n
The incident happened during Green\u2019s Cowboy As It Gets show at Margaret Court Arena.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan we get the house lights on?\u201d Green asked, then pointed at a man in the crowd. \u201cGet his ass out of here!\u201d <\/p>\n
The man was booed and pelted with a full water bottle as he was escorted from the building. <\/p>\n
Green then continued to perform his show unaware blood was still streaming down the side of his face and neck.<\/p>\n
\u201cDamn, am I still bleeding?\u201d he said later, as an assistant wiped his injury, then joked: \u201cSee how tough I am?\u201d<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Green posted pictures of receiving medical treatment after the show, and joked: \u201cGetting my ears pierced.\u201d<\/p>\n
The attack on Green follows similar incidents in Melbourne over the past year.<\/p>\n
US singer SZA threatened to halt her Rod Laver Arena after fans threw shoes and mobile phones onto the stage. She told the crowd: \u201cI\u2019m a person. That\u2019s crazy\u201d.<\/p>\n
