Harry Styles was involved in a heated exchange with an autograph seeker on a New York City street on Wednesday, according to videos obtained by TMZ and reported by Page Six. In the first clip, the man trails the singer, who was wearing a hoodie and baseball cap and listening to music on wired earbuds. The man repeatedly tries to get Styles' attention, but Styles keeps walking without acknowledging him.
A second video, according to the report, shows the two men yelling and pointing at each other. The reporting says it is unclear what they were saying. In the footage described, a third man steps between Styles and the autograph seeker, who was holding a copy of the singer's "Fine Line" album, apparently to defuse the situation. When Styles tries to walk away, the man keeps following him and matches his stride before the video cuts off.
The singer has been seen around the city often in recent months, frequently walking between Brooklyn, where his fiancée Zoë Kravitz lives, and Madison Square Garden, according to Page Six. He is in the middle of a 30-night residency at the venue that began Aug. 26 and runs through Halloween, part of his "Together, Together" tour. Page Six also notes that he has previously had friendlier interactions with fans in the city.
The clips are short and partial, and they do not show what happened before the first video or how the encounter ended. Styles' representatives have not commented, so the account rests on the footage as reported by Page Six and TMZ.
