Sources close to Neil told TMZ the woman was "very aggressive" in her efforts to get an autograph from Vince and actor Nicolas Cage, who were having lunch last Thursday (April 7) in the ARIA resort and casino. Vince reportedly admitted he was annoyed and "pushed past her," but insisted he did not grab the woman by her hair. The video posted by TMZ on Friday that showed Neil and Cage fighting in front of the hotel was filmed after they were held for an hour by security and police had already ticketed Neil for battery.
