Beyonce's dancers rushed to defend the superstar in Atlanta on Saturday night as a crazed audience member rushed the stage in an attempt to get at the 'Formation' singer and husband Jay-Z. Watch the video lighting up social media below from the perspective of the crowd.
As the 'Crazy In Love' collaborators are walking off stage in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, you can see a man run past the On The Run II tour dancers. Once the artists' on-stage team realize what has happened, all turn and run backwards in order to apprehend the man.
A fan jumped on stage and went after Jay-Z and Beyoncé during their set tonight, but their background dancers were quick to stop him. 👏🏼 #OTRII pic.twitter.com/LdystGQL69

Beyonce's publicist Yvette Noel Schure posted her thoughts on social media thanking fans for their concern.
Beyonce and JAY-Z on stage tonight in Atlanta. Thank you to all the fans for your concern. They are fine and looking forward to the show tomorrow.
The couple plan on resuming their tour for night number two in the city tonight as planned.
This tour has made many headlines for Beyonce, notably last week when fans caught the 'Sorry' songstress smoothly play off a potentially disastrous tumble in Nashville. Watch below as she saves herself from slipping down a flight of stairs. Click the link above to watch it play out in slow motion, her recovery is masterful!
