Akon faces charges for throwing fan off stage

Akon is learning what stage divers (and pretty much every other concert goer) learned in, well, 1992. Don't throw fans off the stage without being sure there are enough people to catch them.

Now, Mr. "Blame It on Me" is facing charges of endangering the welfare of a minor and harassment in an upstate New York court in connection with throwing a fan off the stage during a concert this summer. The whole event is caught on tape (below) and, as anyone who has ever had a drunken, stage-diving dude land on them, knows, the people on the ground got the bad end of the bargain.

The woman who the fan landed on says she suffered a concussion, according to the Poughkeepsie Journal.
