Edward Norton Fight: 'American History X' Actor Accused of Harassing New York City Paparazzi Photographer

New York City Paparazzo Alain Beccera-Calderon filed a complaint with the NYPD after an alleged altercation with famed Fight Club actor Edward Norton. According to police, the photographer asked Norton a question while holding up his Smartphone as a camera and the actor allegedly pushed the phone away. Beccera-Calderon went to the Beth Israel Hospital where he learned he suffered a "tissue contusion." The police are now probing the situation.

The photographer reportedly walked up to Norton in the Midtown area of Manhattan on Tuesday and said, "I got a quick question: 'People say you look like me. Is that true?'" 

Edward Norton apparently got angry at the photographer and asked, "Why are you stalking me?" He then pushed Alain's hand out of his face, which resulted in the injury.

According to the police, the photographer then went to the hospital complaining of hand pain and was told he suffered a "tissue contusion." At around 9:30 p.m. that night, he filed the complaint with police. The incident was classified as harassment and the police are probing the claims. They have ruled out any criminal charges due to lack of witnesses.

Alain Becerra-Calderon said that the incident was "very, very scary" and the Incredible Hulk actor "needs to learn to control his temper... I asked if I could ask a question, and he grabbed my phone." He also said that his finger was "bruised" and, "the hospital even had to put a bandage on it." He has yet to announce if he will file a civil suit against the actor saying he is "discussing that with [his] attorney."

Edward Norton has rarely been in situations like this. He is a quiet man who tries to keep to himself despite being a celebrity. Norton recently had a son with his fiancé Shauna Robertson.
