Beck’s bodyguards’ pow-wow with paparazzi
LOS ANGELES:
Follow his team or his fashion choices, but David Beckham apparently doesn’t want you following his car.
After being pursued by paparazzi in Beverly Hills, the soccer stud confronted a photographer, with a fight breaking out moments later between one of the soccer star’s bodyguards and the shutterbug.
According to an eyewitness, Beckham went up to the car and tried to get the driver to come out. When the driver declined, Beckham’s bodyguard went to the passenger’s side and punches began flying.
The scuffle did not go unnoticed by the authorities. “They started fighting right in the street in front of the police station,” an eyewitness said.
“Once the bodyguards and the paparazzi started fighting David ran back to the car and he and Victoria drove off...The cops finally came and broke it up.”
Two of the bodyguards were later questioned by police. One of the bodyguards, who had been scratched in the fight, declined to comment. A rep for Beckham has not yet commented on the incident. Photographers on the scene showed police a video of the fight, which police then confiscated as evidence.
“They just can’t do this,” said the photog involved in the fight. “They put me on the floor, they got my camera and they threw it in the trash can. They can’t do this to us.” — Agencies
