Liev Schreiber denies assaulting photographer

Liev Schreiber had a heated exchange with a photographer who accused him of assault, shortly after the actor appeared in court asking a judge to dismiss the charges.

Shutterbug named Sherwood Martinelli claims the "Ray Donovan" star hit his Canon 7D camera on June 7 when he tried to click him standing on the street, Page Six reported.

Schreiber was then in the city to shoot the popular Showtime series.

"I never touched him. I never touched his camera," the actor told reporters outside the courthouse in Nyack, New York.

Martinelli, who was waiting across the street with a camera, shouted back, "You did touch me!"
The 50-year-old actor ignored him and said, "I never touched his body with my body. I was pi**ed, but that was it."
