A Jonas Brothers concert in Prague was halted on Tuesday night after Nick Jonas was targeted by a laser pointer, causing him to run off stage.
Footage of the incident first emerged on social media, where Nick Jonas can be seen dashing off stage mid-concert while making a "time out" sign with his hands. A representative for the O2 Arena in Prague, where the concert was held, confirmed to Variety that the show was halted for several minutes afterwards.
"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 O2 Arena Praha spokesperson said. "The organizing service responded to this fact. After a few minutes, the band continued their performance."
Representatives for the Jonas Brothers did not immediately respond to Variety's request for comment.
The safety of performers on stage has become a hot-button issue in recent years, with artists being subjected to objects thrown on stage or simply odd requests from audience members. In November, Taylor Swift paused her Eras Tour show in Buenos Aires, Argentina to ask fans not to throw objects at her.
"Just because communication means having gentle, healthy boundaries, it really freaks me out when stuff gets thrown on the stage, because if it's on the stage then a dancer can trip on it," Swift said via video posted on X. "I love that you brought presents and that is so nice, but just can you please not throw them on the stage."
Jonas Brothers are currently playing the rescheduled European leg of the band's "Five Albums, One Night" tour, which comes to a close on Wednesday night in Krakow, Poland.
