Video gaming superstar Marcus Fenix came literally face to face with the British press in London’s West End this evening, as a night dining with friends at the Groucho Club ended in a scuffle with a paparazzi photographer.

In the UK to promote his new Xbox 360 game, Gears of War 2, the gaming icon was reluctantly snapped leaving the celebrity hangout but took offence when one unfortunate hack got too close. As these shocking pictures show, he was then restrained by his minders and piled into a taxi. An onlooker said: “Marcus is a big guy and it was pretty scary – he just totally lost the plot.”
