It remains unclear how seriously Styles was hurt during the incident.
The assault is the latest in a growing trend of pop stars getting hit in the face while performing live.
Last month, Bebe Rexha was struck in the face by a cellphone thrown at her from the crowd while she was performing onstage during a concert in New York City. Photos later showed Rexha with a badly bruised and swollen left eye.
