Kevin Wheal told the paper he had approached 61-year-old McCartney to take a picture.

"Then his friends, who seemed more like minders to me, grabbed hold of me and pushed my camera toward the ground," he said. "One of them said: 'there's no way you're going to take a picture, mate."'

Wheal said McCartney pushed him in the chest with his open palm, swore at him and said: "It's a private visit."

"Following the altercation we have received two counter-allegations of common assault."

-----------------------

Is David Blaine just pissing off the whole of England or what? Seriously. He seems to be inciting a lot of unsavory behavior. People throw shit at him. Someone tries to cut off his water supply. And now Paul McCartney allegedly tries to ruff up some photographer from the Evening Standard. Weird. We may soon have to face the fact that David Blaine is Satan.

1. Deep down I think Sir Paul is a conceited prick

This stunt by Blaine rather pisses me off.
First off, the record for going without food is 70 days -
44 days is really no big deal, most healthy 30 year olds could
do it.
Secondly, starvation is a world wide problem - I am not impressed
by this money making spectacle. David, go home.
