It's unclear what exactly caused this, and Kate's caption didn't help clear anything either. She wrote, "My mum is hurt. Everything in me just wants to scream. That soft, beautiful face, the unfairness of yet another f***ing blow, this time, to the face, hands, knee."

SIX STORIES HIGH
EarthCam

The moment police say Morgan Wallen hurled a chair off a rooftop bar in Nashville is captured on multiple surveillance cameras -- and TMZ has one angle of the incident.

This footage, captured from street level outside the Chief's Bar in downtown Nashville, shows the chair flying over the rooftop ledge ... 6 stories above busy Broadway. From this angle, we can't see who threw the chair, but cops say witnesses and videos inside the bar confirm it was the country superstar.

The moment the chair goes over happens very quickly ... but you can see it does so with a lot of force, so it wasn't just tipped over the side or anything -- it was straight-up chucked.
