By WENNMonday, February 22, 2010
The photographer who accused SEAN PENN of kicking him and damaging his camera allegedly underwent surgery on his knee following the incident.
The Oscar-winner was charged with two misdemeanour counts of criminal battery and vandalism on Friday (19Feb10) following the violent clash with the snapper in California last October (09).
A lawyer for the photographer - previously named as Jordan Dawes - tells TMZ.com that his client suffered serious injuries in the scuffle and had to undergo surgery to repair his knee.
The actor will be arraigned at Los Angeles County Superior Court on 22 March (10) and faces 18 months behind bars if convicted.
