On Sunday (Feb. 23), Sam Worthington was arrested for attacking a photog, who was following his girlfriend around NYC. Today (Feb. 26) in court the actor was slapped with a restraining order.

Worthington was charged with "2 counts of 3rd degree assault, 1 count of attempted assault, 1 count of harassment" and if convicted of everything he is facing up to a year in prison.

We're sure those videos of the incident will help make a decision.

The judge also hit him with a restraining order, which bars Worthington from contacting paparazzo Sheng Li in person, on the phone or via the internet.

Sheng Li was charged with reckless endangerment.

They are due back in court on May 8.
