Brangelina guard in attack

A bodyguard for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has attacked a photographer waiting to snap the couple as they emerged from a hotel in India.The security guard was said to have grabbed snapper Sam Ralph by the throat while yelling angrily before letting go in a fit of rage.The photographer, from the UK, said he was considering taking further action."I haven't decided yet, I'm considering it," Ralph said just moments after the attack.Ralph explained he was a guest at the Le Meridian hotel and maintained he had tried to be considerate by not attempting to take photos inside.He said: "It would be disrespectful to take pictures inside the hotel. I know they wouldn't like that, but I was outside anyway doing my job along with everyone else.The couple are in Pune, about 125 miles south of Mumbai, India to shoot scenes for a movie about slain journalist David Pearl. Jolie is slated to play Pearl's widow, Mariane.Pearl, a Wall Street Journal reporter, was kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan in 2002 while researching a story on Islamic militancy.
