The fan has been identified by his family as 20-year-old George Obregon Jr.
His mother, Michelle Obregon, took to Instagram yesterday (28 November) to share footage from the incident.
The caption reads: "I want everyone to see what these mother f**kers did to my son!!!!! At no point was my son aggressive at no f**kin point did she show any sign of harm!!! My son wanted a stupid f**kin picture with his favorite artist!!!! And This is what he gets!!!!!!!
"I am sick to my stomach to think about how this could have turned out!!!! Please help me share this please as a mother I am begging you to help get justice for George Obregon Jr.
"Anyone who knows my son knows he is the sweetest and gentlest kid ever. No drugs, alcohol, gang, nothing! I am dying here and my f**kin heart is hurting so bad I am sick to mys stomach. I can’t stay quiet ."
Wick has since taken to social media to address the incident, apologising to the fan and his mother said: "I don't condone what happened to my fan George after my show in any type of way, I expressed to him and his mama how sorry and concerned I was that it happened to him, multiple times before anything was even posted or on the internet.
"I sent his mama my number instantly the night it happened. I was even gone make a post to try find out who he was before his mama text me.
"I cant control another grown man actions, I ain't know that was gone happen, and I was made when it happened.
"I tried to stop it as u can see in the video, and if somebody got the longer video you can see how mad I was, I love and appreciate all my fans and don't condone in what happened at all dat s**t ain't gansta or."
Obregon is currently in hospital in stable, but critical condition, according to Patch.
Wick's publicist released the statement: "I want to start by saying that Nardo is furious over what happened! He did not condone or participate in anything that occurred. He took no part in it. As soon as he realized what was happening, he jumped to put a stop to it.
"That’s not his security nor are the individuals directly connected to Nardo. Nardo spoke with the victim's mother the same night it occurred, and management has been in contact with the mother in reference to his condition.
"We are praying for a speedy recovery! Nardo loves and genuinely cares about his fans."
Adding to Obregon's mom's desperate pleas, Tampa police are similarly calling for any witnesses to the incident to come forward.
Anyone with information should call Tampa Police at 813-231-6130 or submit an anonymous tip by contacting Crime Stoppers at 800-873-TIPS (8477) or via TIP411.
