Actor Nicolas Cage and Motley Crue’s Vince Neil got into a fight that was caught on camera on April 7 in Las Vegas.

A video shows Nicolas Cage, 52, restraining the 55-year-old heavy metal frontman.

The altercation began when the "National Treasure" star tried to calm down Neil and put him in a car.

It all started because a woman asked Cage for an autograph outside the Aria hotel. The woman said Neil grabbed her from behind and pulled her to the ground, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police told the NY Daily News.

The altercation began when the “National Treasure” star tried to calm down Neil and put him in a car, reported TMZ. In the video, Cage is seen yelling at Neil to stop as he restrains him with an arm around the neck.

The singer received a misdemeanor battery citation, according to the NY Daily News. He was not arrested or taken into custody. Neil faces a fine of up to $1,000 and/or six months in jail.
