Hugh Grant has been involved in another messy clash with the press - the actor lashed out at a photographer during a night out in New York.

The British star was on his way to a restaurant in the Big Apple on Wednesday (10Jun09) when he took offense to a huddle of snappers outside the venue.

I was trying to help youfind a cab

As he made his way towards his next nightspot, the star was caught on camera warning the photographers to "back off".

And the Four Weddings and a Funeral actor was unhappy at their persistence - reportedly kicking one paparazzo in the groin.

The unlucky snapper is heard shouting, "That wasn't cool. What the f**kis your problem? I was trying to be a nice guy. I was trying to help you find a cab".

It isn't the first time Grant has found himself in a sticky situation with photographers - he allegedly threw a carton of baked beans over one London snapper in 2007.
