Akon Charged in Crazy Stage Toss Incident

Posted Nov 29th 2007 7:41PM by TMZ Staff

Akon! WTF? There's no need to throw a kid off the stage! Cops apparently agree and have now charged the R&B singer with misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree harassment.

The charges stem from an incident last June in upstate NY when he was performing at a concert and someone in the crowd allegedly threw something at the singer on stage. Akon asked the crowd to point out the culprit. A security guard picked a 15-year-old out from the crowd and sent him up to the stage, where Akon hoisted him onto his shoulders and flung him into the crowd. Smack that! The kid landed on another teen who told the local paper she was later diagnosed with a concussion.

Akon is scheduled to appear in a local court on Monday for arraignment. Locked up!

4. If this is so true then you need to change hobby. A kid is going to be a kid, so let grow up and act like an adult.

It look like you need a little more growing up to do and that go to anybody that forgot that they was kid once up on a time.

And to any kid that goes to a concert keep your hands to yourself and repect elders. That if you wasn't taught that.

5. Akon sucks, at least IMO. They should have thrown him off the stage and played some real music.

7. Was the security guard really doing the right thing by even bringing this kid up on stage? (Hired mindless drone.) Will the kid make a s*&%load of cash from this whole event? (What do you think?) Will there ever be any evidence of talent from the nob known as Akon? (Guess!)
