Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty has denied he started a fight with an Italian paparazzi photographer in Rome.
As previously reported, Doherty was involved in the bloody altercation following a Babyshambles gig at the Piper Club in the Italian capital on Monday (October 23).
A spokesperson for Doherty released a statement saying: “Pete Doherty totally denies that he instigated a fight with a photographer in Rome.
“Reports that the photographer might make an official complaint will certainly interest Pete’s lawyers, who can call on witnesses who clearly saw Pete being hit with a camera outside his hotel.”
