Adam Levine bombed with sugar outside 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'

LOS ANGELES -- Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine was hit with a powdered sugar bomb after performing on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Wednesday.

The sugar was thrown at about 8:30 p.m. in a back parking lot area behind Jimmy Kimmel's studios.

The attack was caught on Instagram video by user @Hollywood_Avenue.

Levine was not hurt, but was covered in the sweet substance. Security and Levine's assistant also had sugar thrown on them.

The assailant, a man in his mid-30s, was arrested on suspicion of battery on Levine and four other people.

Levine brushed it all off and continued on.
