Schreiber gets ticket for wearing flip flops on scooter

LONDON - “The Manchurian Candidate” actor Liev Schreiber was given an unwanted Christmas present by the police in Sydney on Christmas Eve when he was handed a traffic ticket for wearing flip-flops while riding his scooter.

The “X-men Origins: Wolverine” actor spent the festive season down under with his partner Naomi Watts, who grew up in Australia, and their two sons.

But Schreiber’s pre-Christmas outing to Sydney’s Bondi Beach came to a halt when he was stopped by police while riding his scooter, reports contactmusic.com.

The star was handed a traffic ticket for wearing “unsuitable footwear” on the vehicle.
