Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are staying in the Indian city of Pune while the actress shoots scenes for her new movie A Mighty Heart. Hordes of photographers have bombarded the Le Meridian Hotel where they are staying.

As the Hollywood couple left the hotel, a member of their security team grabbed photographer Sam Relph by the throat. Video footage of the incident was broadcast by India's CNN-IBN channel. Relph tells the Hindustan Times, "He said if I took pictures he would kill me. I couldn't breathe. He had his fingers on my windpipe and he knew what he was doing."

Two Indian journalists have also complained about the treatment they received at the hands of the unnamed man.
