Pete Doherty hid in a bush howling, "The demons are coming to get me," before jumping into a photographer's car.
The Babyshambles rocker looked "off his head" as he was refused a fare by a taxi driver, before landing a lift with a bemused photographer and making a series of bizarre protestations.
Sam Kelly, 24, had watched Pete try to flag down a taxi near his supermodel girlfriend Kate Moss' London home, before cowering in a bush and wailing about "demons."
Kelly was quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "I approached him and he started yelling, 'The demons are coming! The demons are coming to get me!' His eyes were rolling in his head and it looked like he was dribbling. He asked me for a ride and kept saying, 'I'm late,' although he never said what for.
"I could see sweat pouring off him and he just started mumbling to himself."
When Sam went to his car, self-confessed drug addict Pete leapt in the back and sat on his four-year-old daughter's booster seat. The singer - who recently appeared in court for drugs offenses - started mumbling about how he was going to be a "bigger music legend than Sir Paul McCartney", and complaining about girls wearing clothes from Kate's Topshop fashion range.
Sam added: "He asked to use my mobile phone to make a couple of calls. but I didn't know if he was really talking to anyone. When I checked later, the number he called wasn't recognized.
"Pete carried on mumbling until I slowed for a corner, then he just jumped out and ran off. He was in a real state."
