Hugh Grant arrested for baked bean attack

Hugh Grant was arrested and questioned by London police Tuesday, after a photog accused the actor of attacking him with a tub of baked beans.

Photographer Ian Whittaker told the Daily Star that he and Grant had a scuffle close to Hugh's house. Whittaker said Grant "abused and kicked him" on Tuesday before attacking with the beans. The paper shows pics of Grant with a tub of food raised over his head.

Whittaker claims, "I said: 'Give us a smile please', and he just looked really angry. I walked backwards and he walked after me. He was effing and blinding at me and then he just started kicking me."

Grant's lawyers said an incident had taken place and was now under investigation.
