A quiet evening out for Paris Hilton and Benji Madden turned violent last night - thanks to an overzealous security guard!

Paris and her new beau were quietly strolling into Hyde last night when, perhaps unsurprisingly, the paps took note and started snapping.

Unfortunately, one of the club's security guards was feeling her oats and decided to throw one of the paps out - and right into Paris!

Paris, fortunately, recovered quickly and hurried inside with Benji without causing a fuss. Hopefully she gave whoever threw that pap a piece of her mind on her way in, though!
