WENN reports that Pete Doherty was swamped by fans at a London gig - after dozens of supporters invaded the stage.

The Babyshambles frontman was playing a solo show at the Hackney Empire, when fans climbed over the barriers and rushed at the singer.

Security guards at the venue were forced to step in and haul Doherty out of danger.

A source tells British newspaper The London Paper: "People were literally being thrown off the stage. During the finale, one by one, they tried to jump on from all angles. Security were having a pretty hard time keeping them away from Pete - especially the girls.

"At one point two brunettes ran on and latched onto Pete until security - at least four of them - had to prise them apart."

Fan filmed video footage of the incident can be viewed below.
