Remember Sam Worthington? He was everywhere about five years ago? Insisted on walking the red carpet with his then girlfriend so her head was in every photo/interview going? Anyway, he's had an alleged scuffle with a photographer, and gotten himself arrested for his troubles.
The Avatar star is said to have rushed to his current girlfriend Lara Bingle's defence when she was allegedly kicked in the shin by a paparazzo as the couple were leaving Cubbyhole bar in Greenwich Village, New York City.
the NYPD informed TMZ that Worthington was charged with assault and released on bail for reportedly punching the camera-wielding snapper in the face, and has been set a court date for February 26th.
The photographer, named Sheng Li, was arrested and booked for reckless endangerment, assault and harassment.
During the scuffle, the Australian hunk is said to have referred to model Lara as his missus (who does have the bang of Bo Derek off her), shouting at the photographer, "you kicked my wife."
However, a source told the MailOnline: "He would have been speaking figuratively. They are definitely not married, as far as I know."
The couple were rumoured to have tied the knot during a secret ceremony in Western Australia earlier this year and have been spotted wearing matching rings. Nawww.
The 37-year-old actor previously got into an altercation with a photographer in 2012, when he was arrested and pepper sprayed following an argument outside a restaurant in Atlanta.
