Snapper Threatens Legal Action Against Penn

SEAN PENN is facing the threat of legal action from a paparazzo he allegedly attacked on Friday afternoon (02Oct09).

Jordan Dawes filed a police report against the Milk star, who reportedly kicked the cameraman after heading out for a meal in Brentwood, California.
Now the Hollywood snapper is seeking to launch a legal battle, pressing charges against the actor for battery over claims he suffered multiple bruises and cuts in the altercation.
Bosses at Flynet Pictures, who employ Dawes, allege he did nothing to offend the star, insisting Penn “emerged from his truck and walked over 50 feet towards the photog and kicked and punched him without provocation”.
They add, “Penn also berated the photog with obscenities and shouted that he would ‘put you in a box’ to the photog before going back to his house.”
