Sam Worthington's Paparazzo Assault + Arrest Caught on Tape - VIDEOS

Sam Worthington (of Avatar fame) was arrested on Sunday (Feb. 23) in Greenwich Village for assaulting a member of the paparazzi and it was all caught on video.

Albeit from the first person perspective.

It all started because the photog was following Worthington's girlfriend Lara Bingle -- who Sam mysteriously refers to as his wife -- around when the paparazzo claims he videotapes Bingle assaulting him. Or maybe the camera just shakes a lot.

Even though Bingle begs the cameraman to stop following her he doesn't listen. Enter a very Sam Worthington from off screen to beat the living snot out of him.

You can check all that out above and a bonus video of Worthington being brought to the police station below.

Worthington is due back in court tomorrow (Feb. 26).
