Los Angeles - Justin Timberlake's pals have called the paparazzo his bodyguard has been accused of assaulting a "lying piece of shit".
The Friends with Benefits actor was joining his co-star Mila Kunis, who he is said to be dating, at London's exclusive Nobu restaurant on August 2, when a smartly dressed man, believed to be his security assistant, was reportedly seen punching a photographer to the floor.
However, a close friend of Justin claims this is completely untrue.
He told E! News: "[Justin's bodyguard] did not touch that photographer. "He was a lying piece of shit photographer who fell down.
No charges
"[The bodyguard was arrested because] that's how it is [in the UK]; to be arrested is to be questioned. And after questioning him, the police determined that the bodyguard did not touch the photographer and he was released with no charges."
A spokesperson for Scotland Yard said: "Police were called to Berkeley Square at approximately 21:45 on Tuesday. A man alleged he was assaulted.
"He suffered minor injuries. He did not require hospital treatment. Officers later arrested a 45-year-old man at a central London hotel on suspicion of common assault. He is being held at a central London police station. Enquiries are ongoing."
