Woody Harrelson went nuts yesterday, smashing our camera to the ground, punching our photog, even grabbing his neck -- and it's all caught on tape.

It went down at New York's La Guardia airport last night. As the photog asked Woody questions, the actor shoved the camera into our photog's eye, causing it to temporarily stop recording. A few seconds later the video returns but then the screen goes black again -- you can still hear Woody attack full bore, ripping the camera out of the photog's hands.

Our photog says Woody smashed the camera to the ground, breaking it. Harrelson then picked the camera up and began walking away with it. The photog followed Woody, claiming he was assaulted and demanded that Woody return the camera. That's when Harrelson attacked again, striking the photog repeatedly and grabbing his neck. Our cameraman shot the action with his flip cam.

It's Woody's second incident with a TMZ camera. In 2006, Woody broke another one of TMZ's cameras and choked a different cameraman.

YIKES!!

temper! temper!

Woody Harrelson seems like an odd person. I hear he almost always refuses to sign autographs. I recall a story from last year when someone went to a movie premiere or something he was at and brought a photo of him to try and get signed. Woody stopped and said he liked the photo and when asked if he would sign it, he simply replied, "No," and walked away.

I've never cared for him myself. He always seems WAY too cocky and holier than thou. :rolleyes: :crazy:

I'm with you. I was never a big fan of his character on the show either. Easily my least favorite.
