If we someday end up in a dystopian future full of killer drones, we may look back on May 31, 2015 as the turning point.

Or, it might just be that time Enrique Iglesias tried to grab a drone during a concert, and ended up getting his fingers sliced.

During a show in Tijuana, Mexico, Iglesias grabbed a propeller-driven drone that was hovering above him, as it took video of its surroundings. A spokesperson for the singer said Iglesias had grabbed drones before to give audience members a look from his point-of-view.

Iglesias was then rushed to the airport where an ambulance was on scene, his spokesperson said. The singer then boarded a plane to Los Angeles, where he is expected to see a specialist.
