Wenzhou police have imposed an administrative penalty on a man surnamed Mao who threw a glow stick toward the performer during a concert at the Wenzhou Olympic Sports Center on the evening of October 31, 2026, according to Chuan Guan News.
The outlet reported that the audience member tossed the object at the artist during the show. It did not describe any injury or say what specific penalty was imposed.
According to the same report, Mao has apologized to the artist and his management team through the event organizer, and they have accepted the apology.
The artist was not named in the police notice as summarized by Chuan Guan News, but several outlets covering the incident, including Sina and Observer, identified the performer as Nicholas Tse.
The case drew wide attention online, with ThePaper.cn publishing a commentary arguing that throwing objects at a performer in the name of affection does not excuse breaking the law. Chuan Guan News did not provide further details on the investigation or the penalty.
What to watch next: whether police or the event organizer release additional details about the penalty or any new measures for audience conduct at the venue.
