Michael Jackson, the "King of Pop" was spotted browsing in antique store Off The Wall on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles on Oct 23 and managed to snap up a silver model plane before the paparazzi descended on the place and he was forced to flee in an SUV.

A source says Michael was looking around at other items but only purchased the plane. "It was a little difficult because people were pounding on doors and windows...so he was in and out pretty quick," an eyewitness tells E! News. "The paparazzi were in hot pursuit of him."

Despite the chaos going on outside, the source said Michael didn't seem worried. "He was great," says the source.

As Jackson was exiting the store, another eyewitness tells E! News that paparazzi and fans were everywhere. "He came out and shielded himself with an umbrella at first," says another eyewitness. "Once he got in his car, he cracked the window and reached out and started shaking people's hands."

The 50-year-old "King of Pop" later made a stop at a cosmetics boutique on trendy Robertson Blvd.

Jackson browsed through the skin care products and picked up a package of Epicuren Discovery, an enzyme and propolis based spa product.
