Harry Styles’ mum steps in after he is hit with a can while performing on stage

A FAN owned up to throwing the can at Harry Styles on Twitter after his mother Anne Twist intervened.

WHO would want to do this to poor Harry Styles?

The One Direction singer was clocked in the head by a can thrown on stage by a fan during his concert on Tuesday night.

Styles was performing in Philadelphia when he was smacked in the face by the object, clutching his head in pain for several seconds after he was hit.

A fan called Hanna owned up to throwing the can on Twitter after Style’s mother Anne Twist retweeted a video which showed her laughing at the incident.

No harm done ... This time 😠 ... Unless you're on a sports field is it acceptable to throw things at people?! I think not.

OK peeps!! Please do not turn to bullying @HannaCooke17 ... that serves no purpose 😟. Please just learn from the incident & be kind.

Hanna had earlier tweeted an apology for throwing the can.

I didn't mean to hurt him I just wanted to be noticed https://t.co/LHeeKtS3ke

I hope you all realise now that you shouldn't throw something on stage as it can injure them badly. Don't make the mistake I did.

The 21-year-old later said he had no hard feelings towards Philadelphia.

Thank you Philly for last night. Hope you all enjoyed the show, you've always been lovely to us. H
