Mel Gibson has been accused of attacking a man in a nightclub. The "Lethal Weapon" actor was at Los Angeles' Playhouse with his pregnant girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva Wednesday night when he allegedly lashed out at a guy, believed to be a paparazzi photographer, who wanted to take a picture.

According to reports, Mel and his lover looked "happy and in love" at the beginning of the evening.

However, when a woman - believed to be a reporter from U.S. magazine Life and Style, who was posing as a fan - took a picture of Mel and Oksana, Mel's security team apprehended the camera and deleted the shots.

It is then claimed the woman asked a male friend to try to get a photo, provoking Mel to allegedly attack him.

A source told gossip website Hollyscoop: "Mel approached the guy who tried to take his picture and ripped his shirt."

The man involved has apparently filed a battery report against Mel at the Los Angeles Police Department's (LAPD) Hollywood division.

He is not believed to have been injured in the incident.
