Akon event turns dangerous in London
R&B singer Akon found himself at the center of a frightening scene in London.
The singer was afraid for his life when an encounter with fans went awry. The radio hit-maker was apparently walking through London with a small entourage when several members of the public approached the star.
A fan frenzy ensued as people begin pushing and shoving to get to the R&B star creating a mob-like atmosphere. Akon, who only had one bodyguard at the time, was forced to take shelter in a nearby fast food restaurant where he was smuggled out of the building’s back entrance after the surging mob of fans shattered a window.
According to Akon, “The intention was to go and watch a movie, but as we were walking there I spotted this little catfight in the middle of the street. I forgot who I was for a second, and people started to notice me and before I knew it I was being mobbed by about 300 fans”.
According to witnesses police arrested four individual and two of the assailants were said to have guns in their possession.
