Rihanna seen lunging at fan with mic in video footage

Video footage has emerged of international songstress Rihanna seemingly taking a swipe at an audience member with her microphone.

The 25-year-old was performing at the LG Arena in Birmingham, UK, as part of her Diamonds World Tour when the alleged incident happened.

In a clip posted to YouTube, Rihanna is seen running along the front of the screaming crowd while singing chart-topping tune 'We Found Love'.

Flanked by security guards, the songstress is seen being pulled back by her jacket by an overzealous fan in the clip.

Rihanna is seen lunging towards the person in question with her mic in her hand, leaving many to speculate whether or not she actually hit the fan with the equipment.

Singer Rihanna carries on with her performance after the episode.

Twitter was ablaze with people speculating about the incident after the footage emerged. While some blasted the star for her actions, others praised her gutsy attitude.

One user wrote: "As if Rihanna hit a fan with her mic! The girls got far too much attitude! That guard also needs sacking!" while another posted: " Rihanna hit a fan with a mic and it was GLORIOUS!!! (sic)."
