Lady Gaga sure has some amazing security. While leaving her hotel in Romania this week, Mother Monster’s security team apparently took down a fan who came running at the pop star.

The guard knocked the attacker to the ground, punching him in the face and kneeling on his neck. Gaga jumps back a little but shortly afterwards continues, with a wave to her fans gathered outside.

Take a look at the video.

The attacker seems to be all right, just a little frazzled. As Gaga is shuffled out of the hotel her gentleman fan picks up his hat, glasses and dignity from the floor and walks calmly back out the door he rushed in.

Let this be a lesson to all of the over-excited Little Monsters out there: waiting your turn is much less painful than charging ahead.
