Jude Law-Breaker? Actor Arrested for Alleged Attack

Posted Sep 5th 2007 8:48AM by TMZ Staff

Jude Law leaves Police station Actor Jude Law turned himself in to London police Tuesday after allegedly beating the crap out of a paparazzo outside of the star's home.

A police spokesman wouldn't identify Law by name, but confirmed, "A 34-year-old man from Maida Vale was arrested yesterday on suspicion of actual bodily harm after voluntarily attending a London police station." Law is both 34-years-old and lives in Maida Vale -- a swanky London neighborhood. Law was snapped leaving his home -- smiling -- shortly after the alleged incident.

According to a published report, the battered photog says Law went nuts even though he wasn't shooting at the time, accusing the snapper of being a pedophile that only wanted to shoot Jude's children.
Police say the "34-year-old" was released on bail. A court date was set for sometime in October.

Last year, cameras caught Law lashing out at photogs in Los Angeles, telling them, "You don't film my f**king children" and threatening, "I'll have you up for pedophilia!"

Calls to Law's reps have not yet been returned.

1. I don't blame Jude Law. Why do these papparazzi stalk the celebrities homes? Celebrities deserve some semblence of privacy while in their own home and if some jerkoff was outside my home flashing away, I would punch him out too.

3. Yeah, the papparazzi are part of the job when you become an actor- but geez, leave the kids out of it. It's sick when you see them taking picture after picture of their kids.

5. Could not happen to a nicer PIECE OF GARBAGE ADULTERER (I SPELLED THAT WRONG I THINK)

What makes the difference now? Walking around naked AGAIN with people watching you-HEY IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR PICTURE TAKEN LIKE THAT THEN STAY INSIDE STUPID!!

Fooling around with a nanny again?
Cheating on another wife/girlfriend?

11. Why does Ms. Kris care about who Jude law sleeps with? What he does behind his bedroom doors is no business of anyones. As far as his being an adulterer, wasn't it his ex-wife's ectasy that his young daughter injested? wasn't it his ex-wife who went nuts? Don't pass judgment on the man. No one has the right to stand outside anyone's house and take pictures.

12. Sharing with us their gift of talent does not entitle ANY of us (including papparazi) to CONSTANTLY infringe upon the personal lives of celebrities.

13. Geez. Lola, learn how to spell????????????

14. These paps really shouldn't even think about filing charges when they get a little boo-boo because THEY are stalking. I mean really, look at all the damage Jude did, OMG he's scarred for life. Get real paps and stay away if you don't like it.

15. While I would never accuse David Beckham of being the fountain of all knowledge, he did make a point some years back that paparazzi are essentially stalkers. Any one else who camped outside your house 24/7, took photographs of your children and followed and harassed you constantly, would be brought before the courts in quicksmart time, and given either jail time or would be forbidden from going anywhere near that person from then on.
Why is it ok for paparazzi to take photos of celebrities' children? It makes me so angry that they push people like Jude Law to the absolute limit, follow them constantly - Jude Law is a human being and he snapped - and then it is Jude that is seen as having done wrong. If you push people to the limit, they will inevitably snap.
Leave them alone, photographers. (not that this will ever happen, I am aware).
