Passionate followers of the actress are demanding that a man who leaped a barrier and seized the celebrity during Thursday's Wicked: For Good debut be arrested or removed from Singapore.

A circulating video shows the Australian man pushing past photographers and lunging at Grande while the actors proceeded down a promenade flanked by onlookers.

Cast member Cynthia Erivo immediately guided the stunned actress away from Mr Wen, who was observed being escorted out of the premiere by security officers.

Mr Wen shared on Instagram late on Thursday that he was "free after being arrested", though legal records showed that he was scheduled to be present on Friday morning. It is unknown if he was charged.

Pattern of Incidents

This is not an isolated incident for Mr Wen, who describes himself as a "Troll Most Hated", has invaded a performance. His Instagram account contains recordings of him disrupting other celebrity events, including jumping on stage at the pop singer's Sydney concert in June this year and in a similar way during The Chainsmokers performance in the city last winter.

"There needs to be action taken against him as this is evidently a punishable act," stated an Instagram user, in a message to a video Mr Wen uploaded of his actions.

"Oh wow so you do this a lot... how aren't you in jail?" one Instagram user questioned.

Several followers accused Mr Wen for "triggering past anxiety" Grande, who had revealed dealing with PTSD after a devastating incident at the finale of her May 2017 performance in Manchester, killing 22 people and wounding many.

"The star has endured numerous terrifying experiences... including the Manchester tragedy, and you believed breaching security was amusing?" commented one more message on Instagram.

A number of attendees also criticised security officers at the premiere for not being vigilant enough; while some called for online networks to ban Mr Wen's uploads.

Response and Event Details

In clips circulating online, Grande looked surprised when she was grabbed by the intruder. Her cast members Michelle Yeoh and Erivo can be spotted comforting her while Mr Wen was escorted away by security.

Grande has remained silent on the event, and the premiere activities proceeded as normal.

Many of attendees had gathered in a sea of colorful attire at the Wicked: For Good Asia-Pacific launch in a Singapore venue, including a number who had waited for as long as many hours before it started.

The film, to be launched on November 21, is the second of a two-film adaptation of the popular theatrical show Wicked, which focuses on the surprising bond between two contrasting sorceresses.

The production itself is a adaptation of the 1900 children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Grande, who portrays the benevolent sorceress Glinda, was decked out in a rosé sparkling outfit at the premiere while Erivo, who plays the wicked witch, wore a black tube gown embroidered with roses.

They were accompanied by cast member Jeff Goldblum.

The initial film, Wicked, was the highest-grossing motion picture of the previous year in the UK, and scored a dozen award recognitions, winning several for best costume and set decoration.
