Nic Cage Restrains Rocker Pal Vince Neil After Fight With Woman Outside Vegas Resort
LAS VEGAS (CBSLA.com/AP) — Police say Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil is accused of grabbing a woman's hair from behind and pulling her to the ground at a club.
Bystander cellphone video provided to the celebrity website TMZ.com shows actor Nicolas Cage physically restraining Neil -- his friend -- before police arrived.
Las Vegas police Officer Michael Rodriguez said Friday the incident happened a little before 5:30 p.m. Thursday outside the Aria resort.
He confirmed that Cage was at the scene, but wasn't accused of a crime.
The photo at left is from a 2010 Neil arrest for alleged DUI.
His attorney, David Chesnoff, says he's investigating the latest allegation and the public shouldn't prejudge the situation.
TMZ said the incident happened when a woman came up and asked Cage for an autograph. Neil, for whatever reason, got into an altercation with the woman.
A spokesman for Cage didn't immediately respond to messages.
