The Jonas Brothers stopped one of their concerts after a fan was caught pointing a laser at Nick Jonas' head.
While to you and I it may seem obvious that it wasn't an assassination attempt on the frontman, Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas were not prepared to take any chances as they darted off a stage in Prague, Czech Republic, in dramatic style.
Footage of the incident appears to show the laser being pointed at Nick's head and then his hand, before he ducks down and does a 'time out' sign with his hands as he flees the stage.

The terrifying ordeal left fans bewildered as to why the show stopped all of a sudden, it wasn't until a venue representative came on stage and explained the reason the Jonas Brothers ran off.
The incident has left fans fuming online.
One user took to Twitter to share their displeasure, writing: "Why would you point a laser at Nick in the first place you got him and the rest scared.
"From what I read they stopped the for a few mins because of this, that is why he said time out and ran so fast off the stage.
"Do you not have any decency??You don’t just point a laser at his head."
While another commented: "That’s actually so scary."
A third wrote: "Whoever pointed a laser pointer or whatever it was at Nick mid-show deserves jail time. He looked utterly terrified. I can’t imagine how everyone else in that venue felt seeing him running and the security and everything else. That’s so scary."
And a another typed: "This is scary for artists, fans go over the board sometimes."
While it turned out to be something as benign as a toy laser, there is history of terror attacks taking place at concerts.
Back in 2017, an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, was targeted by terrorists and it sent shockwaves around the world.
Twenty-two people died and hundreds were injured when a terrorist detonated his homemade device in the foyer of Manchester Arena as crowds left the concert on 22 May 2017.
Following the attack, Grande issued a statement calling for compassion and support for one another as they heal.
Part of her statement read: "When you look into the audience at my shows, you see a beautiful, diverse, pure, happy crowd.
"Thousands of people, incredibly different, all there for the same reason, music.
"Music is something that everyone on Earth can share. Music is meant to heal us, to bring us together, to make us happy. So that is what it will continue to do for us. We will continue in honor of the ones we lost, their loved ones, my fans and all affected by this tragedy. They will be on my mind and in my heart everyday and I will think of them with everything I do for the rest of my life."
