Fans goOneDirectionPERTH: Mad scenes followedthe arrival of boy band OneDirection in Perth overnight,with a small group of fans in-timidated by security guardsas they tailed their idols.

The teenage heart-throbslanded in the West Austral-ian capital at 1.30am (WST)and were immediately spir-ited away in a convoy of threeheavily tinted vans.

The die-hard groupies —many driven by their moth-ers — reportedly pursuedthe band through severalred lights on the Great East-ern Highway.

Bizarrely, the convoy pulledinto a servo. Freelance pho-tographer Bohdan Warchomijsaid security guards thenphotographed the fans in a bidto intimidate them.

‘‘They couldn’t shake themand thought ‘there must beanother way out of this’ andadopt plan B,’’ he told Fairfaxradio yesterday. ‘‘I think itwas just security intimidat-ion. Certainly with me, theytried to get me to move on.’’

The band were then whis-ked to James Packer’s CrownCasino, avoiding the main en-trance and also their fans.

Meanwhile, One Directionhave been crowned Billboardmagazine’s most powerfulpop stars under 21.
