Arrest ... Adam is taken from the cafe by police

TROUBLED pop star Adam Ant is led away by cops yesterday after going berserk and stripping off in a cafe.

Adam, 49, allegedly hurled stones at neighbours’ homes, smashing several windows, before heading to the nearby Curly Dog cafe.

Worried diners told how he ranted about children before pulling off his trousers and going into the basement, saying he wanted to sleep.

Adam, who has a history of mental illness, curled up in a ball and refused to come out when cops arrived.

Heyday ... Adam in eighties

But actress Samantha Janus, 30 — a close pal — dashed to the scene and talked him into giving himself up.

Staff later found an entire roll of kitchen paper in the basement covered in barely legible scribblings.

On one sheet Adam, real name Stuart Goddard, had written “Horatio Lord Nelson was his guide”.

He also left behind half a dozen carrier bags stuffed with old newspapers and folded cardboard boxes he had taken into the cafe.

Goddard, star of eighties group Adam And The Ants, was arrested for criminal damage and taken away with a blanket wrapped round his waist.

Troubled ... Adam recently

One diner at the Curly Dog in Primrose Hill, North London, said: “He was very stressed but not aggressive. You could tell he really wasn’t well at all.”

Another told how women in the cafe screamed when Goddard pulled off his trousers.

It later emerged the star was involved in a disturbance at another cafe half a mile away on Tuesday.

Last year he was admitted to a psychiatric unit after going berserk in a pub.

I find this very sad. We children of the 80's remember him. He's obviously in need of psychiatric help.

[Trueblackman]

Having married Grace Jones pushed him over the edge.

[lainie]

He married Grace Jones? I never knew that. I knew he was with Amanda Donohoe for awhile, some time around her LA Law lesbian-kiss days.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Whatever happened to Grace?

[The G Man]

You don't drink, you don't smoke ... what do you do?

[Trueblackman]

Short uneventful marriage.

< fake Southern accent > That boy ain't right. < /fake Southern accent >

[Trueblackman]

They split up later on.

[jriemer]

Who wore the pants in that marriage?

[lainie]

subtle innuendos follow :)

[hellinahandcart]

Wow, he's unrecognizable.

[cweese]

...i wonder if Mr. Ant is distantly related to Mr. Ernest T. Bass?....

[lainie]

Yikes!

Picture Drudge has:

[BillyBonebrake]

Well at least he wasn't throwing carburetors like the last time. They can leave a nasty mark.

[Welsh Rabbit]

Thank God they had no children together....

[mallardx]

Yup, it's very sad. I hope he can get help and/or medecine and overcome his problems. He's a great musician.

[Constitution Day]

LOL!

[RoughDobermann]

He does have a child (born in 1998) a girl named Lily.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Has Adam turned French?
