British actor Hugh Grant has been arrested and questioned by police after a photographer accused him of attacking him with a tub of baked beans.

Photographer Ian Whittaker told the Daily Starthat he and Grant (46) clashed near the home of the Four Weddings and a Funeralstar.

Mr Whittaker said Grant abused and kicked him on Tuesday before lobbing the beans. The paper printed photos of Grant with a plastic tub of food raised over his head.

Grant's lawyers said an incident was being investigated. A police spokeswoman said a man (46) had been arrested yesterday evening and questioned at a London police station.
