These paparazzi are really out of hand these days. Okay so get this, Sam Worthington and his supermodel girlfriend Lara Bingle were walking down a street in NYC when a photographer named Sheng Li kicked Bingle in the shin!! After the kick, Sam, allegedly punched Li in the face and things got ugly!! Check it out!
NYPD lieutenant John Grimpel said officers were called to a Greenwich Village street corner about 5.30pm on Sunday (Monday AEDT) after Worthington and Bingle were aggressively being pursued by photographer Sheng Li. Li blocked the Australian model’s path and then deliberately kicked her in the shin, Lt Grimpel said. Worthington, who has been dating Bingle since October last year, allegedly retaliated by punching Li in the face.
“The photographer had lacerations to his nose and bruising to his forehead,” Lt Grimpel said.Worthington and Li were arrested and charged at a nearby Manhattan police station.
It was asked if the NYPD believed Li kicked Bingle accidentally, Lt Grimpel replied: “I wouldn’t think so. No”.
He is scheduled to appear in a Manhattan court on Wednesday.The 37-year-old actor was arrested and charged with assault following the incident, while the photographer, Sheng Li, was charged with reckless endangerment, assault and harassment.

So we will see how this plays out in court, but let us analyze: Why would the photographer just decide to pop off on a famous couple? Regardless of the reason, what Sam did is what any respectable man would do. You hit my lady, what part of the game is that? And why? Who’s he mad at? Them or his self?
