Spears' bodyguard 'assaults' Vegas snapper

before noon on Thursday, when Camera alleged lashed out.

America's Us Weekly magazine reports eyewitnesses claim Camera shoved the photographer's partner Kyle Henderson in the chest and accidentally hit 22-month-old Sean Preston.

The Las Vegas Police Department have confirmed Camera has been cited for misdemeanour battery.

Meanwhile, Spears has accused Henderson of battery of Sean Preston in a police complaint.
