A member of the audience at Justin Bieber's stage show in Dubai tackled the singer from behind while he wasperforming at a grand piano.
Bieber managed to free himself and ran to the side of the stage while security guards grabbed the intruder, knocking the piano over and onto its side.
The singer later retweeted descriptions of the "mayhem".
He later tweeted: "Dubai. Nothing stops the show. 2 more to go."
Footage on YouTube shows Bieber carried on performing while security guards removed the fan and picked up the piano.
He is in the middle of a world tour called Believe which began last September and includes about 100 dates.
'Wasn't a prank'
Reports said that the globally successful 19-year-old took a three-minute break after the on-stage fracas before returning to sing Boyfriend and then Baby.
His guitarist and musical director Dan Kanter later tweeted: "It wasn't a prank. Someone ran on stage during Believe and the piano got knocked off its platform. Everyone is fine. No need to worry!"
A parent of one of Bieber's fans at the Dubai gig, Steve Hoare, told the BBC that as the tickets cost about £100each, a lot of parents were left angry afterwards.
He said: "My 16-year-old daughter said that the kids at the concert were pretty shocked by it all.
"The attacker may have been an adoring fan. But it was probably someone who was annoyed at Justin Bieber being more than two hours late, as he was the night before.
