While an attorney for platinum-selling entertainer Akon says the singer’s recent “body slam” incident – where he hurled a teenaged fan into the audience – has no basis for criminal charges, the woman who the teen landed on is asking for an apology.
Police in Fishkill, NY continue to investigate Sunday’s (June 3) KFEST concert, staged by local FM station 104.7 WSPK, where Akon tossed a 15-year-old concertgoer into the crowd after security brought the teen to the stage for throwing an object at him.
Police know the young man’s name but would not release it to the press. Berlingieri said the teen’s mother contacted police and provided her son’s name. Police sought to speak with the teen since Monday (June 4), in order to learn whether he wanted to press criminal charges.
