Paul McCartney had to be rescued by police after his tour bus was besieged by thugs in Mexico City.
The former Beatle and his crew were driving through a 'no-go' area of the city when youths stopped the luxury coach, climbed onto the roof and began jumping up and down.
"At first his security team thought it was just swarms of fans but when people started scaling the bus, the situation changed in a flash," said a source. "Paul and the team were shaken up."
The police were eventually called to break up the mob.
McCartney, who has now reviewed his security situation, had been playing a show at the city's Foro Sol stadium as part of his current world tour.
The singer was unharmed, and last night travelled to Washington for a show at the White House.
