The metal star enforces a strict no-picture policy at his Danzig gigs and when the frontman spotted one attendee at a show in Pomona flouting the rules by snapping away on a cell phone, he took matters into his own hands and waded through the crowd to snatch the mobile from him and toss it to the side of the stage.

After the concert, the fan walked up to Danzig, who was standing at the door of the band's tour bus, and asked him why he didn't like having his picture taken, before reportedly attempting to board the vehicle with his camera.

A scuffle ensued and in video footage obtained by TMZ.com, the singer can be seen putting the guy in a headlock.

The brazen fan has since been identified as Navid Farsi - the same prankster who dumped sugar all over Maroon 5's Adam Levine outside a Los Angeles TV studio in May (15).

The 28 year old was arrested for battery and subsequently sentenced to three years' probation, in addition to 20 days of community service and counselling sessions.
