Jude Law Arrested For Paparazzi Altercation

Jude law was arrested yesterday for allegedly getting into a fight with a photographer. While outside his London home, Jude allegedly tried to grab the photographer’s camera.

His rep released the following statement:

“I can confirm that Jude Law voluntarily attended Marylebone Police Station yesterday following an alleged incident outside his house earlier in the day.

“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.”

Jude is required to return to the police station in October “pending further inquires,” according to the Times of London.

Police only had this to say,

“A 34-year-old man from Maida Vale [Law's neighborhood] was arrested yesterday on suspicion of actual bodily harm after voluntarily attending a London police station.”

This is not the first time Jude has gotten into it with the paps. Last year he was caught lashing out in L.A., telling some paparazzi “You don’t film my f–king children” and threatening, “I’ll have you up for pedophilia!”

What others are saying:

dlisted says, “Jude needs to calm down. I’m afraid the anger is taking a toll on his looks. He used to be such a hot piece and now he looks like a soggy piece of leather.”

celebitchy says, “You can understand the guy trying to protect his childrenâ€™s privacy and flipping out about it but it doesnâ€™t sound like the kids were even around.”

Defamer says, “While the official police statement following the incident declined to name the star, its curious description of the attacker as ‘a 34-year-old man from Maida Vale so handsome that this officer found himself secretly wanting to grab a camera and see if the appealingly boyish rogue would rough me up a bit if I asked to take his picture,’ a slip that allowed the British tabloid press to make a positive identification of the paparazzo’s celebrity assailant.”
