Florida police have arrested a man whom they believed to be a "credible threat" after he allegedly plotted to kidnap singer Lana Del Rey.
The Orlando Police Department (OPD) said that the man had been in possession of a knife when he was arrested near the Amway Center in Orlando on Friday night, where the singer was performing.
Police said in a statement shared on Twitter that it had "received a tip about a possible kidnapping threat" to the singer.
The statement continued: "The threats were reportedly made by Michael Hunt, 43, of Riverview, Florida. OPD Detectives considered the information a credible threat, and took investigative measures to locate Hunt.
"OPD officers came into contact with Hunt at Hughey Avenue and Central Boulevard on Friday evening, one block from the Amway Center.
"When he was taken into custody, Hunt was in possession of tickets to the Lana Del Rey performance and a knife.
"At no time was he able to make contact with Ms Grant." Elizabeth Woolridge Grant is Del Rey's real name.
Hunt is being held at the Orange County jail and faces charges of aggravated stalking with a credible threat and attempted kidnapping with a weapon.
The OPD statement said that, without the tip-off, "authorities might have been unaware" of the threat.
