The Rolling Stones, awhile back, uploaded this video, which you can check out above, to their YouTube channel.

As any good guitarist/bandmate would do, Keith Richards thinks fast and fends off the fan using his Fender Tele as a club.

Check out the video for all the action (which starts at around 1:10). Enjoy!
