SUNDAY Mirror photographer John Gladwin needed medical attention after being viciously punched to the ground and kicked in the head by Kylie's boyfriend Olivier Martinez.

 

The fiery Frenchman launched an unprovoked attack outside his Paris flat as Kylie watched from the balcony.

 

Martinez, 40, a trained boxer, caused severe bruising to Gladwin's head and right eye, and he suffered blurred vision, dizziness, nausea and headaches.

 

John, 46, who has worked in Kosovo and other war zones, was not even trying to photograph Martinez at the time and his camera was stowed in a rucksack.

 

After being treated by a doctor at his hotel, Gladwin said: "He flew at me in a rage while I was standing with my hands in my pockets talking to his lawyer.

 

"He punched me in the chest with both fists, catching me off balance and I fell down. Then he started kicking me as I lay there. I got two hard blows to my head with the sharp point of his cowboy boots.

 

 

"It was an excruciating painful, cowardly and unprovoked attack."

again this is probably blown all out of propprtion

I hope so. This is not the kind of thing you want at this time of year

I hope it isn't as bad as they're making out. If it is, Oliver has no respect from me. -_-

Violence is never the answer.

true but there is prob more or even less to the story

He bragged in interviews in past that his way of "dealing" with press is to beat them up ( I used to be a prof boxer you know ).It killed his realtionship with Binoche ( along with his cheating).

 

Hardly likely they would name the journo if not true ,since Martinez could sue him .

 

Makes his crown of "The Most Honourable Man " look a bit thorny given recent events.

 

IF true what a tosser.Violence so sucks
