Ariana Grande was ambushed by an overzealous fan while walking the red carpet at the Singapore premiere of her new film Wicked: For Good on Thursday.
The actress, 32, was walking beside her co-star Cynthia Erivo, 38, who bravely jumped in front of Ariana when she saw the man running towards them.
The video which was shared widely online showed the man lunging at Ariana and putting his arm around her as she struggled to get away at Universal Studios.
Cynthia, who plays Elphaba in the film, jumped in between her friend and the man to try and block him while seemingly shouting something at him.
He was wearing a white T-shirt and shorts and had distinctive long black hair with dyed blue streaks.
Following the incident, Ariana looked shaken and could be seen letting out deep breaths while walking beside Cynthia down the carpet.

Ariana has previously spoken about strugglin with PTSD after her concert was bombed in Manchester in 2017, leaving 22 people dead.
She told British Vogue in 2018: ‘Yeah, it’s a real thing. I know those families and my fans, and everyone there experienced a tremendous amount of it as well.
‘It’s hard to talk about because so many people have suffered such severe, tremendous loss … I feel like I shouldn’t even be talking about my own experience – like I shouldn’t even say anything. I don’t think I’ll ever know how to talk about it and not cry.’
In the same interview, she opened up about her ongoing struggles with anxiety.
‘I think a lot of people have anxiety, especially right now … My anxiety has anxiety,’ she said. ‘I’ve always had anxiety. I’ve never really spoken about it because I thought everyone had it, but when I got home from tour [in September 2017] it was the most severe I think it’s ever been.’
