Two members of boyband The Wanted, Jay McGuiness and Siva Kaneswaran, were involved in a scary encounter with a knife-wielding homeless man in Denver.
The English-Irish boybanders were in Denver for their Word of Mouth tour, reported TMZ online.
The two decided to watch Johnny Depp's movie 'Transcendence' before the concert.
After leaving the cinema, the two met a homeless man asking for money. Kaneswaran reportedly obliged, but the man asked for more. When the two refused, the homeless man reportedly pulled out a knife. They apparently were involved in a scuffle, but the stars managed to leave unharmed.
Police were not called following the incident.
McGuiness took to Twitter to tell the group's fans that he and his bandmate were not injured.
"To reassure you, we were not stabbed, but a guy in Denver did pull a knife out on us- do not worry, we were lucky and we still love Denver," he wrote.
Kaneswaran retweeted the post.
