Jude Law found himself on the wrong side of the law when he allegedly attacked a photographer outside his London home on Tuesday (04Sep07).

The unnamed snapper claims Law viciously assaulted him outside the actor's north west London home, punching him in the face and kicking him to the ground.

Police were called after the incident, which left the photographer needing hospital treatment.

The snapper tells WENN, "I was at a bus stop near Jude's house but I wasn't taking pictures of him. My camera was still in the bag.

"He was by himself when he recognized me and started accusing me of being a pedophile and that all I wanted to do was take pictures of his children.

"He then punched me in the face and started kicking me. I was shocked at his behavior. You would expect that sort of behavior from a yob, not from a big Hollywood actor."

A police spokesperson says, "Police were called out in to the Maida Vale area after reports of a disturbance and inquiries are being made."

Law was later seen attending Marylebone police station where he was briefly held on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm.

The actor, who has denied the claims, was bailed and is due to report back to the authorities in October (07).
