After snapping a pic of Spanish lovers Javier and Penelope Cruz in a passionate embrace inside club Socialista in New York last week, one photog was pushed, threatened, and had his camera broken and flash card stolen by security, club owner Armin Amiri, and Javier himself.

According to the photog (and also reported by the NY Post), after seeing the flash go off in the club, Javier, his bodyguard and driver chased the lensman out of the club, where Javier insisted he delete the photo.

After the photo in question was deleted, Javier still wasn't satisfied, apparently telling the photog "if all these people weren't here, I would kill you!" Javier was urged to go back inside, and after being roughed up by club security, the photog's flash card was stolen before he was eventually let go. The photog, who suffered some minor injuries, is still waiting for his property to be returned. I'm sure it was annoying, but all that for one photo??
