"Near the end of performing ‘Kiwi’, like usual, Harry went to the very front of the stage to get the crowd extra excited. He got down onto his knees and was shaking his arms to the music with his eyes closed," a fan said after the incident. “A fan then reached out and touched his crotch. He very quickly got up and appeared to also shove their hand a little bit to remove them faster.

“You can tell it freaked him out a little because as he continued performing, he avoided the section that fan was standing in.”
