The ‘punch out’ part is all BS according to the police.  Mel Gibson was out at Playhouse in Hollywood when a loser paparazzi wouldn’t stop trying to take his picture.  The dude was posing as a fan but clearly was not.  Mel had his pregnant girlfriend, Oksana with him and didn’t want the snaps taken.

However, things went sour when a Life & Style reporter posing as a fan tried to snap a picture of Gibson and his girlfriend. His security team immediately took the camera and deleted the pictures.

The pushy reporter did not stop there as she sent her friend to take another picture. That’s when Mel stepped in and attacked the clubgoer because he was fed up with everyone trying to snap a photo of him partying. Our source tells us exclusively that “Mel approached the guy who tried to take his picture and ripped his shirt.”

There are no worries for Mel though, he was innocent.

A rep for the Playhouse acknowledges “a minor incidence occurred between a persistent photographer and Mr. Gibson’s party” and that “no one was injured.”

Mel’s got the club and witnesses behind him, I am sure nothing will ever come of it.  And the ‘victim’ will continue his career in harassing celebrities……
