(West Hollywood, CA) Camera shy actor, Robert Pattinson, got aggressive with a photographer security guard at a legendary music venue when he thought he was taking his anger out on a shutterbug instead.

It all happened outside the historic club, The Troubador, when Robert Pattinson was swarmed by paparazzi while he was leaving out the fire exit, when in the middle of making a dash for his car, he shoved a man he thought was a paparazzi in the face and even knocked his glasses off.

In the shocking video, he is seen having a devilish smile as he is doing it and soon after hops into his car and talks to his buddies who are inside the black SUV limo.

The paparazzi quickly realize his mistake and one of them yells at him, "you pushed the wrong person!", while others taunt him about his mistake and sexual orientation.  Pattinson is seen covering his face as the paparazzi keep shooting him while he is in the vehicle.  The black SUV speeds out of the place as soon as the paparazzi clear a path.

The demonic smile Robert Pattinson has as he is shoving the man and the violence he used against him are completely unacceptable unless he feared bodily harm and was defending yourself.

Worst of all, the person who got the short end of the stick in this case wasn't even a paparazzi but a person who was actually trying to protect Robert Pattinson from the paparazzi.

The irony!
