Beyoncé and JAY-Z showed their sense of humor on Sunday during their second of two On the Run II concerts in Atlanta. One night after a drunk fan bum-rushed the stage and was taken down by tour security (and Beyoncé's devoted dancers), Bey made light of the situation by showing off her fighting skills as she and JAY exited the stage. In a fan video from the show, the Carters head backstage hand in hand after performing "APES**T," but not before Beyoncé turns back to the crowd, pretends to check for someone behind her, then gives a karate kick before walking off. Both she and JAY-Z appeared to have a laugh as they disappeared.

On Saturday night, near the end of the Carters' show, 26-year-old Anthony Charles Thomas Maxwell ran on stage and made contact with JAY-Z before quickly being stopped by security guards and backup dancers. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Maxwell "was initially issued a citation for disorderly conduct and released," but police also added "a charge of simple battery." Maxwell was also treated for "minor injuries" and Atlanta police said that nobody else was hurt.

If nearly being attacked on stage wasn't eventful enough, Beyoncé also came close to falling down a flight of stairs on stage during the couple's show in Nashville last week. Luckily, the singer was able to recover with a quick step-ball-change. Keep reading to see Bey's high kick, plus some reactions from stunned fans.
