It comes after Sabrina’s bodyguard was seen accidentally hitting a fan in the face with an umbrella while pushing photographers out of her way as she arrived at London’s BBC Radio 1 studios on Tuesday.
She was led into the building by a muscular security guard, who pushed photographers and passersby into the crowd around her.
But as the star entered the building, an umbrella being used by a bodyguard appeared to hit a member of the public, who was standing next to the crown holding a white cane, in the face.
The security member was wearing a black jacket and holding a blue umbrella in an attempt to block any view of the blonde performer.
The member of the public shouted “woah my eye like” as another member of staff quickly checked that the man was okay.
As the commotion raged, Sabrina ducked her head and held on to her guards.
