Jude Law arrested for assaulting a photographer

British actor Jude Law has reportedly been arrested for allegedly attacking a photographer.

Law apparently hit the photographer in the face, and then kicked him to the ground after accusing him of trying to take pictures of his kids.

The photographer, who was at a bus stop near Jude's west London home, was taken to a nearby hospital and treated for an injury to his hand.

The alleged victim claimed: "I was at a bus stop near Jude's house, but I wasn't taking pictures of him - my camera was still in the bag.

"He was by himself when he recognised me and started accusing me of wanting to take pictures of his children.

"He then punched me in the face and started kicking me. I was shocked at his behaviour."

After the alleged incident, which happened yesterday; Law voluntarily went to a police station and was later released on bail.

A police spokesman said: "A 34-year-old man from Maida Vale was today arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm, after voluntarily attending a central London police station.

"The arrest followed an allegation of an assault outside a residential address in Maida Vale, London W9.

"The victim sustained an injury to his hand and he was taken to hospital by the London Ambulance Service."

Jude has made no secret of his hatred towards to paparazzi, claiming they are all stalkers.

He said: "The invasion of photographers in a lot of people's lives is too much.

"If you took away their cameras they would be stalkers and freaks. Most of them are, anyway, or at least they look like it.

"They follow me to sets every day, hoping I'll fall, hoping I'll get hit by a car, hoping a bird will s**t on my head.

"And then there's a story. People either know that or they don't."
