Pitt/Jolie guard lashes at photographer

One of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's bodyguards has lashed out at a British photographer.

The guard grabbed the snapper as he took the stars' picture outside a hotel during their visit to India.

A media scrum has been waiting outside the Le Meridian hotel, according to reports, and the photographer was caught out as they tried to leave the building.

Video broadcast on India's CNN-IBN news channel shows a man grabbing him by his neck and shouting at him. The Hindustan Times has identified the victim as Barcroft Media's Sam Relph.

The paper said the guard demanded photographers stop shooting but Relph refused to do so.

Pitt is in the country with Jolie, who is shooting for A Mighty Heart - about the life of the murdered journalist Daniel Pearl.
