Police are planning to speak to the "RocknRolla" star after he reportedly got into a fight with photographer Morgan Kreusch in the early hours of Monday morning, leaving Kreusch with a cut lip which required stitches and three loose teeth.

Kreusch also underwent a brain scan following the attack on the advice of doctors.

The photographer claims he had been attempting to take a picture of Butler as he left West Hollywood's Crown Bar when the 38-year-old actor confronted him.

He said: "I told him I was a photographer when he asked what I was doing. Then he started to punch me through the open window of the car."

"He hit me hard three or four times. He was shouting, but I couldn't really tell what he was saying because I was totally dazed. Then he went to walk away but turned back. He kicked the car and then hit me again three or four times."

Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Ana Aguirre confirmed the department will be questioning Butler on charges of misdemeanor battery.
