HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Pierce Brosnan has been hit with a lawsuit by a photographer who claims he was beaten up the star earlier this year.
Brosnan, 54, is being sued for assault, battery and negligence by Robert Rosen, who claims that the actor shoved him during a scuffle in a Malibu parking lot.
Rosen is claiming that he was taking photos of Brosnan on Oct. 26 when "suddenly and without warning," the actor struck him in the chest, causing "severe physical and emotional pain and injuries, including bruised ribs."
The lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, claims that Rosen wasn't chasing the ex-James Bond and former "Remington Steele" star and didn't invade his privacy. It also claimed the attack was "designed to inflict pain and injury."
The freelance photographer claims the injuries sustained from the attack will cause him to "lose earnings in the future."
Rosen is seeking undisclosed damages for assault and battery, as well as for negligence.
