MALIBU, California (AP) -- A paparazzo trying to photograph Matthew McConaughey at the beach told police he was attacked by a mob of surfers who threw his camera in the ocean.
Actor Matthew McConaughey was not involved in the reported attack on a photographer, authorities said.
The 29-year-old photojournalist told sheriff's deputies that a large group of surfers near Paradise Cove in Malibu approached him and other paparazzi about 2 p.m. Saturday and demanded the group stop taking pictures and filming.
"There was apparently a fight, and the photographer gave a statement that he received injuries," Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said Sunday. Detectives are investigating, he said.
McConaughey was not involved in the attack, authorities said.
A call to McConaughey's publicist was not immediately returned.
The celebrity Web site TMZ.com posted a video Sunday showing about a dozen young men in swimsuits approaching what appears to be a group of paparazzi and yelling and swearing at them.
A scuffle breaks out after one of the photographers exchanges insults with the group and at first refuses their orders to leave.
"I'll give you a thousand bucks if you leave right now," one of the young men in swimsuits tells the photographers.
Another shoves a photographer filming the scene, and still another says, "We'll draw a line in the beach, and we'll fight for the beach. If you guys win, you can have the beach."
When one member of the group shouts at a photographer, "Get a ... real job," the photographer replies, "This is a real job. What do you do?"
The man replies: "I just drink beer and party."
woohooo!!!

this should happen to all paparazzi no matter what, even if they're not in the water. The should be attacked by surfers around the world. Im sick of all the fat ugly bald photos of britney filling the isles while I wait at the grocery store to buy my food. And some sad saxs of shit actually buy this shit.
