Akon's minor endangerment and second degree harassment case was reportedly adjourned until March 5th by a Fishkill judge today (January 16)
As previously reported, during a concert at Dutchess Stadium in Fishkill in June 2007, a 15 year old male threw an object at Akon while he was onstage and the singer asked the crowd to point him out.
A security guard would drag the teenager to the stage and Akon would pick him up and throw him back into the crowd, striking a woman in the audience.
According to The MidHudson News, Akon did not show for the hearing and his lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, had no comment when contacted.
Akon has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
