TORONTO — A man was arrested Wednesday after hurling powdered sugar at Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine in Los Angeles.
Levine was greeting fans outside the Jimmy Kimmel Live studio when the unidentified man tossed the white powder, covering one side of Levine’s face and his chest.
Eyewitness Laura Tijerina told CNN the assailant was holding a brown paper bag with tape around it.
“I just saw powder everywhere,” she said. “It was just so quick.”

Levine, visibly upset, quickly took off his jacket and tossed it onto the pavement before retreating behind a fence.
Video of the incident shows a bodyguard was also hit with the powder.
The man, believed to be in his 30s, was apprehended by security guards and held until police arrived and arrested him on suspicion of battery.
In Maroon 5’s current hit “Sugar,” Levine sings: “Your sugar / Yes, please / Won’t you come and put it down on me?”
