Brangelina Bodyguard Assaults Photographer One of the two personal guards of the stars takes a swing at and threatens to kill a journalist	By Elena Gorgan, Entertainment News Editor 9th of October 2006, 06:40 GMT Adjust text size:

As Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are currently in India to prepare for the shoot of 'A Mighty Heart', set to start today, a crowd of photographers and journalists from all over the world camped outside the hotel they are staying in, trying to get a picture of the famous couple, even if from afar. To avoid the media, Brad and Angie spent most of the time in their suite at Le Meridian in Pune but, on Saturday night, they had to get out. As they tried to make their way through the crowd and into the vehicle that was to take them to their place of destination, a British reporter, armed with a camera, tried to snap them. The two personal guards who were accompanying the stars tried their best to keep the crowd at bay, repeatedly resorting to verbal abuse and, in the end, physical force. As the British photographer attempted to take Brad and Angelina's photo even if one of the bodyguards told him several times not to do so, he ended up by being manhandled and threatened by the latter. 'He said if I took pictures he would kill me. I couldn't breathe. He had his fingers on my windpipe and he knew what he was doing', the photographer, later identified as Sam Relph from Barcroft Media, said. The whole incident was videotaped and later broadcasted on India's CNN-IBN news channel. The alleged victim told the press that he was thinking pressing charges, but that he has changed his mind once he was told that he was in danger of losing his job. 'I have not yet filed any case. But I am thinking about it. [...] The incident has turned ugly enough. And now I've been told that my job will be on the line if I say anything else', the 'Mumbai Mirror' quoted him as saying. A publicist for the celebrity couple declined to comment on the whole incident.
