Woody Harrelson hits man at Watergate Hotel in Washington

Natural born hitter.

Woody Harrelson parried an overzealous photographer on Wednesday after he allegedly took several photos of the actor and his daughter, DC police said.

According to an incident report obtained by Page Six, police were called to the notorious Watergate Hotel in Washington, DC at 11:03 p.m. Wednesday night, with Harrelson, 60, reporting the incident.

Police said a man who appeared to be intoxicated took photos of Harrelson and his daughter, NBC reports, when the “Zombieland” star approached the man to tell him to stop and delete the photos he had already taken.

Harrelson claims the man then pounced on him “in an attempt to grab his neck,” according to the report. In self-defense, the actor then punched the anonymous assailant in the neck, the report says.

The man was questioned in his hotel room and charges are currently pending as the investigation is ongoing. The man’s name will be released once he is charged.

Harrelson is the father of three daughters – Makani, 15, Zoe, 25, and Deni, 28 – whom he shares with his wife, Laura Louie. It is not known which girl was with her famous father during the incident.

Harrelson is currently working in the district on HBO’s upcoming miniseries, “The Plumbers of the White House,” about the Watergate scandal.

Production on the five-part limited series was briefly suspended in August after an on-set screaming incident involving series director / executive producer David Mandel and a member of the props department sparked an investigation.

The investigation has since been concluded, Deadline reports and production resumed with “additional protocols.”
