Mel Gibson Attacks Fan

Mel Gibson has made it into the news again with some more of his infamous, not-so-tasteful behaviour, this time allegedly attacking a photographer posing as a fan at the grand opening of new Los Angeles hotspot, Playhouse.
According to onlookers at the scene, a Life & Style reporter who had spent the evening pretending to be a fan of the Gibson’s tried to snap a picture of the actor and his pregnant girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva.
When Gibson’s security team took the camera and deleted the photos, the paparrazzo sent in her pal Karlis Gajevskis to take more photos. A fed up Gibson then attacked Gajevskis, ripping his shirt.
“Mel approached the guy who tried to take his picture and ripped his shirt,” an onlooker said.
The source added that Gajevskis left the club immediately and indicated that he was on his way to report a battery charge to the police against Gibson. The Mad Max actor and his girlfriend left shortly after, too upset over the incident to continue in their celebrations.
Earlier in the evening, Gibson was said to have been “really respectful” to the media who’d turned up for the event, politely refusing when he was asked for a photograph. Gajevskis and his reporter friend, onlookers said, were overly “pushy” and had even tried pretending to be a part of Gibson’s VIP table in order to get a shot of the actor.
