Actor Jude Law is rumored to have ‘accidentally’ struck a female photographer who was outside the restaurant he was dining at last night in London, England. You can view the actual pictures from the even here. 28-year-old female photographer Harsha Gopal says Jude ’struck her in the head’.

“He hit me full in the face. It was a real stinger, it was very sore,” the woman, Harsha Gopal, said in comments quoted by British media, which also published photographs of the alleged incident.

Jude’s reps were quick to dismiss the claims, stating the whole thing was merely an accident.

His attorney claims, “This is all nonsense. Last night’s incident was an accident. Jude was blinded by the camera flashes when he left the restaurant, raised his hand to shield himself and inadvertently struck somebody standing very close. He apologised and left. Pictures of this sort can often be misleading.”
