The luxury dog kennel worker who allegedly hurled a phone at Bebe Rexha during a performance in New York City Sunday night was seen leaving Manhattan Criminal Court Monday.

Malvagna, who is from New Jersey, is facing two counts of assault, one count of harassment, one count of aggravated harassment, and one count of attempted assault after being arrested at around 11pm Sunday night.

According to the Manhattan DA’s office, Malvagna confessed to the crime and said: ‘I was trying to see if I could hit her with the phone at the end of the show because it would be funny.’

Dressed in grey shorts and a dark t-shirt, he was escorted by his attorneys out of the building. 

Rexha, 33, was playing a concert Sunday at The Rooftop at Pier 17 on her Best F’n Night Of My Life tour when she was struck in the face by a phone.

As seen in a Twitter video, the Back to You artist was seen singing and heading toward the front of the stage in a purple ensemble, with her blonde locks down.

As the Brooklyn native was facing the audience, a phone was seen hurtling toward her from the crowd and hitting her directly in the face.

After a moment of shock, the Grammy-nominated vocalist fell to her knees with her head down as multiple crew members in the wings rushed to her aid.

In a separate video, the man is found by security who pulled him out of the crowd and over the barrier.

Meanwhile, fans shouted ‘a**hole’ and ‘that is assault’ as he was taken away. 

The video was shared by a number of attendees of the concert in the Big Apple on Sunday. One under the handle @RossBernaud posted a video of the entertainer, whose full name is Bleta Rexha, being helped off the stage after the injurious incident.

As she was being tended to by medics and being led behind the curtain at the venue, Rexha gave the audience a wave.

A number of Rexha’s fans took to Twitter to vent about the senseless attack on the pop star.

‘Bebe is literally one of the sweetest and most unproblematic people in the music industry she doesn’t deserve this… some of y’all really need to leave her alone omg,’ one fan wrote.

Another fan of the Baby, I’m Jealous performer wrote, ‘Absolutely great show ruined by a fan throwing their phone at @BebeRexha hopefully she is ok after that.’
