The police got involved when Hong Kong model-actress Lynn Hung scuffled with a paparazzo while out walking her dog in Hong Kong on Sunday evening, reported Hong Kong media.
Hung recounted that she was taking a stroll with her dog, a friend and her assistant when a man began photographing her.
"He pointed the camera at my face and kept taking pictures," said Hung. "He was very rude."
According to Hung, the paparazzo became aggressive after Hung's assistant asked him who he was and said, "Can't I take photos? Is it illegal?".
He continued to pursue Hung down the street despite her assistant’s best efforts to stop him and kept going closer and closer to photograph Hung with his camera.
Hung, clad in dark glasses and a Ferrari baseball cap, finally reacted by blocking the camera lens with her hand and said, "Haven't you taken enough photographs?"
However, the man then alleged that Hung damaged his camera lens and called the police.
When no police officer turned up, Hung called the police.
This time, an officer arrived to investigate.
The police officer eventually decided to dismiss the incident as a misunderstanding, noting that the man's camera lens was not damaged – according to eyewitnesses, he was still snapping away after calling the police – and that Hung did not suffer any injuries.
"I am not really shocked [by the incident]. I had already been very accommodating. I don't know why he [the paparazzo] would provoke me," said an upset Hung, who had happily posted "Happy Weekend!" on her micro-blog just a few hours earlier.
Hung, best known for playing Ip Man's wife in the blockbuster action films "Ip Man" and "Ip Man 2", is often shadowed by paparazzi because she is rumoured to be Hong Kong singer-actor Aaron Kwok's main squeeze.
