A man has been charged after storming the stage during Beyonce and Jay Z's show in Atlanta, US.
Associated Press reports that 26-year-old Anthony Charles Thomas Maxwell ran on stage as their On The Run II show was concluding on Saturday 25 August, approached Jay Z and made contact with him.
He was quickly stopped by the couple's back up dancers and concert security. A spokeswoman for Beyonce said that she and Jay Z were unharmed.
Mr Maxwell was initially issued a citation for disorderly conduct and released, but police have since added a charge of simple battery. He was treated for minor injuries, and spokeswoman Lisa Bender said there were no other injuries.
Following the incident, a statement released by tour organisers said The Carters had chosen not to press charges.
"At the end of last night's show, we had an intoxicated male enter the stage," the statement read. "At this point, we had a controlled evacuation of all crew on the stage in order to safely defuse the situation. We are happy to confirm that nobody was hurt during the incident, and Mr & Mrs Carter are choosing not to press charges against the individual.
"We would like to thank the hard work of our tour security who effectively restrained the individual and all of our dancers and team who handled the situation so professionally."
The couple's Sunday night show in Atlanta took place without incident, and Beyonce even made a joke about the previous night when she turned around as she walked with Jay Z off-stage as though she were looking out for any more potential stage invaders.
