Bryan quickly recovers and continues singing what ended up being the final track of his set that night. Fans have since reacted to the incident. "Now this is why ND can't have anything nice🤦🏼♀️," one person said of North Dakota.
"Shame on the people who did this!" another condemned the act. "And this is why we probably dont get better concerts at the fair [sic]," a disgruntled local said. "Wow guys way to represent our state 🙄," another added.
The object in question was later identified as a stress ball. However, the culprit who threw the object at Brian has yet to be identified, according to The Ward County Sheriff's office.
Captain Jason Kraft of the Sheriff's Office also revealed that no criminal investigation has been opened on the matter, since they have not received a complaint from the victim.
