Moments after Brown, 25, popped on camera, the phone appeared to go flying before landing face up, according to a video posted by Twitter user @SecretaryHurts.
It was a scary scene, but about a half an hour later, Brown let his fans know that he was A-OK.
“I’m fine everyone lol,” Brown wrote in a tweet. “Someone ran the stop sign. I didn’t fall off my bike, I just dropped my phone and got out of the way. Stay safe everyone.”

Brown survived the near crash, but he might not be riding a bike through the streets of Philadelphia anytime soon.
In another video posted by @SecretaryHurts, Brown said “this s–t right here crazy bruh … I ain’t doing this s–t no more.”
Brown didn’t have a description of the vehicle, but he did give out one detail in reference to the rival Dallas Cowboys.
“I think I saw a star on the license plate,” Brown tweeted with a crying laughing face emoji.
Brown just finished his first season in Philadelphia after three years in Tennessee — helping Philly reach the Super Bowl.
He had 88 catches for 1,496 yards and 11 touchdowns during the regular season.
