Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 22 Oct, 16:44 · Archive

Harry Styles had a heated exchange with an autograph seeker who followed him through New York streets on Wednesday. The man, carrying records and a copy of Styles' 'Fine Line' album, repeatedly tried to get the singer's attention. Videos showed Styles, 32, in a hoodie and baseball cap initially ignoring the man before the two began pointing fingers at each other and yelling.

A third man stepped between them seemingly to defuse the tension, but the autograph seeker continued following Styles as he tried to walk away. Styles' bodyguard was seen approaching a police car, though police did not intervene. The New York Post reports Styles has been spotted frequently around New York in recent months, often walking from Brooklyn to Madison Square Garden, where he is performing a 30-night residency through Halloween.

Metro reports that Styles has previously spoken about how important being able to move freely through the world has become to him after years of feeling trapped by his fame. The New York Post notes that Styles has typically attempted to keep a low profile in the city but has previously had friendlier interactions with fans and autograph seekers.
