Sean Penn went ballistic on a paparazzo this afternoon -- and we've learned the photog just filed a police report against the actor.
The cameraman -- Jordan Dawes (not a TMZ guy) -- is accusing Penn of battery after a confrontation near the Brentwood Country Mart in Los Angeles, where Sean had just eaten lunch.
Penn was seen kicking and hitting the photographer on a side-street multiple times before leaving.
Sean's rep had no comment.

If the paps would quit asking stupid questions then maybe a well deserved kick wouldn't have followed. The ones the TMZ paps ask are so dumb it's beyond belief. So not only are they snapping photos they're asking annoying and invasive questions. I hope Sean gets off.

sean penn has short man syndrome. also know as napoleon syndrome. he's a bully. he's always taking his anger out on papparazzi. i bet his wives have taken a few fists too over the years; a guy this pissed off all the time CERTAINLY takes it out on his wives. you can get on that!!!

Gosh- even little kids know you can't just go around kicking people you don't like!
Having your picture taken all the time may be annoying, but unfortunately it does come with being a celeb. Doesn't mean you have to be a douche to them. In fact, I'll bet that makes it worse.

Were just seeing a select photo. What ever with Penn but maybe just maybe the photog provoked the whole thing.

Sean, like all of Hollywood, you are grossly and shamefully overpaid so you deserve whatever you get from the paparazzi. No sympathy here. Quit whining about your loss of privacy, you gave that up when you talk about yourself and you political views and then want to be left alone. You want total and complete control of everyone around you. You are the worst kind of hypocrit!

I wish the pap had busted the camera over Sean's cranium. He needs a good old-fashioned manly beat down and a trip to the ER. That would cure his little dude bad-ass syndrome. I guess he's trying to impress his new girlfriend he dumped his wife & kids for.
