Chris Martin 'attacks photographer'

Chris Martin attacked a photographer outside the hospital where Gwyneth Paltrow was being treated on Monday, reports claim.

The Coldplay star was furious when paparazzi surrounded New York's Mount Sinai Medical Centre as he was leaving.

Paltrow was pushed into the maternity wing of the hospital in a wheelchair and stayed overnight, sparking rumours that she is expecting the couple's third child.

A British snapper called out "Congratulations Chris" as Martin was leaving, prompting him to yell: "Have some f***ing respect!".

He then pushed the man and grabbed his camera before heading to his nearby car.

The photographer shouted, "What the f*** are you doing?... You're supposed to be a father," before leaping on the singer in return.
