Russell Brand Allegedly Throws Paparazzo’s Cell Phone Through Window

Russell Brand got into an altercation with a paparazzo in New Orleans on Monday, wrestling away the photographer’s iPhone and allegedly hurling it through a nearby window.

The man, Timothy Jackson, filed a police report citing “criminal damages” after the incident with Brand, which purportedly occurred after Jackson and other paparazzi noticed the actor-comedian and began to snap shots.

Brand is said to have been infuriated, grabbing Jackson’s cell phone and throwing it through the window of an abandoned building.

Jackson immediately contacted the police, who confirm to Gossip Cop that they are trying to get Brand’s side of the story.

It’s not the first time Brand has had a run-in with a photographer.

In September 2010, he tangled with a paparazzo at LAX airport after the man tried to shoot up the skirt of Brand’s then-fiancee Katy Perry.

Gossip Cop will have updates.

    Good for him. It’s rude to just start snapping photos without asking permission. Probably makes him feel like an animal in the zoo.

    Interesting that when people like Lindsey Lohan and Chris Brown do shit like this they are crucified. Not that neither of them have had a few run ins with the law, but I’m sure a number of people feel the same way.
    If you were to stick a camera in my face there is a good chance you’re going to lose your camera. You’d be lucky if you didn’t get kicked in the shins..
