Ally Brooke Hernandez encountered a terrifying situation in a Mexico airport Wednesday. 

The Fifth Harmony songstress arrived in Monterrey ahead of the girl group's Sept. 29 tour stop, where she was met by a horde of people, including one particularly bold fan. In a video since shared on Twitter, Hernandez is nearly pulled to the ground when someone lunges to grab her with both of their arms from the side. 

The 23-year-old's security team immediately steps in, pulling the attacker off Hernandez before guiding her safely through the extremely crowded airport terminal. 

Ally Brooke later broke her silence on social media to ease concerns over her well-being. 

"Just to let you know, I am okay after the airport incident," she wrote, adding, "Please be careful and gentle so nobody gets hurt. That was scary. Thank you!"

Hernandez then turned the focus towards her upcoming performance, continuing, "Monterrey, I couldn't be happier to be here! It's been a dream of mine since I was little. My favorite singer Selena Quintanilla had many beautiful performances here. And now I get to perform in this city! I'm beyond honored & proud. Te amo!!!!!!! Ally"

During the "Work From Home" singer's Mexico City concert, Hernandez broke down in tears as she spoke Spanish to the sold out crowd. "I can't believe there are 10,000 people right now," she told the audience. 

Wishing Ally and the Fifth Harmony girls a safe and successful performance ahead!
