Britney Spears' Las Vegas show was interrupted on Wednesday night after a man jumped onstage and started dancing during her performance of (You Drive Me) Crazy.

A spokesperson for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said a 37-year-old man was arrested for trespassing at Spears' Piece of Me concert at Planet Hollywood. The spokesperson said the man had been asked to leave the venue before he jumped onstage. 

The incident was captured by numerous fans on their phones.

As Spears asked the crowd, "Are you guys having fun?" the man jumped onstage behind her and did a cartwheel before being subdued by the singer's backing dancers and security.  

Spears, who was surrounded by security staff, asked, "Is something okay? What's going on?"

The frightened singer was then led offstage while the man was removed from the venue. The audience shouted abuse at him while he was escorted from Planet Hollywood. Spears later returned to finish her show.

The concert at Planet Hollywood marked the resumption of Spears' residency at the Las Vegas venue. Her four-year run is due to end on December 31.
