A photographer is alleging that actor physically assaulted him outside Jude's London home on Tuesday, Sept. 4. According to the cameraman, the Alfie star punched him in the face and kicked him to the ground.

"I was at a bus stop near Jude's house but I wasn't taking pictures of him," the photographer, who has not been named, told WENN. "My camera was still in the bag. He was by himself when he recognized me and started accusing me of being a pedophile and that all I wanted to do was take pictures of his children. He then punched me in the face and started kicking me. I was shocked at his behavior. You would expect that sort of behavior from a yob, not from a big Hollywood actor."

Mr. Law provided the police with a statement regarding his denials of allegations by a 'paparazzi' photographer against him and made his own allegations concerning the photographer. Jude has the utmost respect for the police and whilst this is an ongoing matter no further comment will be made."
