Lady GaGa got a bit of a shock while leaving her hotel in Romania where an army of adoring fans waited outside in the hope of getting an autograph from their idol.
As the 'Born This Way' singer sauntered towards the exit in an eccentric black and white dress, white gloves and a large brimmed hat waving and smiling at the folks outside, she got a lot more than she bargained for when an excitable male fan ran into the hotel lobby clutching a pen and a piece of paper rather than waiting like everybody else. He was immediately restrained and taken down to the floor by one of her security guards who placed his knee on the suspected assailant's neck until Gaga had left the vicinity. It certainly seemed to give the singer a scare as she jumped and took several paces back before a second security guard who guided her towards the door.
The fan, who probably just wanted to guarantee a signature from the star rather than launch an attack, seemed rather shaken also, scrambling to his feet and rushing out the door as fast as his legs could carry him as he spotted a remaining member of security. Poor guy. Though it must be said, his approach wasn't quite the smartest.
