In a video showing the incident taking place, a phone can be seen hitting the star before she falls to her knees and puts her hand on her face.
A 27-year-old man named Nicolas Malvagna from New Jersey was arrested and has now been charged with assault.
A preliminary investigation by New York City Police stated that Malvagna confessed to throwing his phone at Bebe, adding that it was "intentional”.
According to the the Manhattan District Attorney's office, Malvagna told a police officer at the scene: "I was trying to see if I could hit her with the phone at the end of the show because it would be funny."
He is reportedly set to be facing two charges of assault, one charge of aggravated harassment, one charge of attempted assault and one charge of harassment and is next due in court on 31 July.
Fellow pop stars, friends and fans of the superstar have been sending their well-wishes to Bebe following the incident.
