In Italian "saltare al collo" (literally "jump to the neck") can be used to mean a form of physical aggression (but normally used metaphorically) in English it would be more like "grab by the throat", I believe. Viceversa to "grab by the throat" translates literally to "prendere per la gola" that actually means to "Tempt through food".
