Police Investigate Beyoncé Bodyguard

Croatian police are reportedly investigating an incident involving one of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s personal bodyguards at the Adriatic coastal resort of Dubrovnik Aug. 18.

Film on the BBC News Web site appears to show a minder arguing with a group of paparazzi before the couple board a speedboat.

Unconfirmed local reports say the bodyguard has been charged with destroying personal property and assault – based on a complaint filed by a TV reporter.

Croatia’s 24 Sata, the country’s first daily tabloid, says the bodyguard hit 57-year-old Dragan Banovic.

Banovic got to his feet and threw his camera tripod at the bodyguard, which hit him in the back. The bodyguard hit Banovic three more times and then threw the tripod into the water.

Several papers report police representative Marija Genero confirming that the local authorities are investigating.
