Guy Ritchie was apparently left shaken when a crazed Madonna fan allegedly tried to attack him with a 12in knife.
The actor, who recently announced his separation from the singer, 50, was filming the remake of Sherlock Holmes in Manchester at the weekend when the teen burst on to the set.
‘The bloke was screaming about Guy and shouting. “I love Madonna”,’ an onlooker tells the Sunday Mirror. ‘It was terrifying.
'At first it seemed like a sick joke but it was soon obvious the knifeman was not messing around.
'Luckily there were four security guards and two policeman who were able to overpower him.’
A 16-year-old youth was removed by police.
Guy, 40, is said to have carried on as though nothing happened.
