Leo's Bodyguard Bust | | Israeli police apprehended two members of
Leonardo DiCaprio's security team and issued restraining orders against local photographers after a scuffle broke out between the bodyguards and members of the paparazzi near the Western Wall.
The 32-year-old Departed star was taking a private tour of the wall's tunnels at the time, accompanied by his 21-year-old Israeli-born girlfriend, model Bar Refaeli.
Sources told E! Online that the fight took place after the comely twosome emerged from the tour to be met by a throng of paparazzi waiting to chronicle their every move.
A security team helped DiCaprio and Refaeli make one of their signature ballcapped, covered-faces exits from the site, allowing them to make a safe, albeit "insane" and "out of control," getaway in a chauffeured white van.
However, the fight did not break out until after the twosome had successfully made their escape.
After they left, two members of their security remained at the venue and quickly got into an altercation with photographers who had failed to get their money shots. A group of seven particularly annoyed cameramen took their case to the Israeli police, claiming they were assaulted by the two bodyguards that DiCaprio left behind.
The two men were rounded up and questioned by police, who were investigating the hows and whys of the fight breaking out, and, after hearing both sides of the snap-happy story, opted to side with DiCaprio's camp, releasing the bodyguards and instead declaring the paparazzi to be "out of line." |
