"CSI" Star Beats the Living Crap Out of TMZ Photog

Who knew the CS in CSI stood for c**ksucker?

Resident "CSI" douchebag Gary Dourdan pulled a Woody Harrelson last night -- unleashing a brutal, unprovoked attack on a TMZ cameraman outside of the most celeb-packed nightclub in Hollywood.


Clad in leather biker gear, Dourdan violently grabbed our photog outside Hyde, who the actor had mistaken for another guy, and slammed him to the pavement several times, sending his head bouncing into concrete over and over again -- all while his camera continued to roll.

The chaos began after Dourdan pulled up to the club on his Ducati motorcycle, and shouted at the photog to "get that f**king camera out of my face!" The photog obliged, pointing the camera to the ground -- but Dourdan's rage continued to grow, and the cameraman kept the record button on just in case something happened. Moments later, something happened.

As Dourdan launched his attack, other paparazzi can be heard screaming at Gary, desperately trying to make him stop. Moments after the assault, Dourdan threatened our photog again, saying, "I know all the cops around here, they're my friends."

Our photog took his chances and filed a police report anyway.

1. He should be glad that anyone would bother to take his picture. He's not particularly talented or hot for that matter. He should do time for this.

5. Yeah right... I'm sure your photographer kept rolling JUST BECAUSE he thought something would happen. He kept rolling and that's why he got his butt kicked!!!
HELLO??? I love the way your verbage tries to make you look so innocent.
You are Paparazzi!!!

7. So much for a beat down. This is nothing more than OVERHYPE here.

Where the hell is the beat down? All that seems to occurred is some harsh words exchanged between a semi-celeb and a cameraman. Much ado about nothing. I've seen more violence in a Target checkout line. Why in the world was this even posted? No blood, no before OR after shots.

D- for journalistic ability.

8. Okay. Grateful should be the word here. He should pat himself on the back that the paps even knew who he was. I didn't have a clue who this D-lister was. What a dumbass to boot.

11. No sympathy for the photographer,you guys are alway sticking your lens in everyone's face.Celebs can't go out for dinner,shopping,out with their kids...they can't go anywhere without you following them like little roaches.I wish more celebs would beat the crap out of you guys, if you tried that up here in Canada your asses would be in the slammer!!

13. "slammed him to the pavement several times, sending his head bouncing into concrete over and over again" - sounds like a potentially life-threatening act of violence to me.

Warrick, what the heck were you thinking?

By the way, regarding the contempt for paps - we keep them in business. Seems obvious, doesn't it?

14. I'm sure he will blame this whole thing on the fact that he's black and misunderstood and the evil white guy with the camera started it, and if he's fired it will also be because he's black.

Hope he goes to jail!
