The singer was smoking a cigarette outside of the Amsterdam Billiards Club in Manhattan Thursday night when the man tried to pick a fight with the former One Direction member. Witnesses said the stranger and his friends were exiting out of the Little Sister Lounge next door before the verbal altercation occurred. At one point, the stranger called Zayn Malik a homophobic slur, and the singer exchanged several curse words while confronting him.
However, the confrontation didn’t turn physical as both parties were being calmed down by their friends and it was unclear why Zayn’s shirt was off the entire time. His girlfriend, Gigi Hadid, was not present during the fight.
