Coldplay singer Chris Martin has again been accused of attacking a photographer after leaving a London restaurant with pregnant wife Gwyneth Paltrow.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed it was investigating the incident, alleged to have taken place on Wednesday night in Knightsbridge. "An allegation was made about an attack in the area," the spokesman said.Mr Copetti told the Sun newspaper he had been taking pictures of the singer and his wife outside the San Lorenzo restaurant when Martin kicked him from behind.
A spokesman from Coldplay responded: "Photographer Alessandro Copetti had been running after Paltrow's taxi and tripped. Chris' sole concern was to ensure that Gwyneth got into the cab safely and was not impeded or harassed."
But the Coldplay spokesman also told BBC News Online: "Chris and Gwyneth left a restaurant on Wednesday evening when a photographer became very aggressive in trying to picture them together.
"Naturally enough for a man whose wife is heavily pregnant with her first child, Chris' sole concern was to ensure that Gwyneth got into the cab safely and was not impeded or harassed in any way."
He said as the pair were not leaving together, Martin followed Paltrow's taxi to make sure she was safe, and the photographer tripped.
The Coldplay singer was charged with malicious damage last year after allegedly attacking a photographer's car in Australia, but the charges were later dropped.
