Icelandic singer Bjork has been accused of attacking a photographer in New Zealand, according to the New Zealand Herald. Bjork, who is due to perform at the Big Day Out festival in Auckland on Friday, tore photographer Glenn Jeffrey’s shirt in half, after he photographed her arriving at the airport early on Sunday. Jeffrey, a news photographer of 25 years, said Bjork was accompanied by a man who asked him not take photos. “I got about three or four frames of her. And as I turned and walked away she came up behind me, grabbed the back of my black [shirt] and tore it down the back. As she did this she fell over, she fell to the ground,” he said.”At no stage did I touch her or speak with her.” Bjork said nothing during the incident, but her male companion was saying: “B, don’t do this, B, don’t do this,” Jeffrey added. This is not the first time that a similar incident happens. ccording to a later story in the Herald, neither Jeffrey nor the newspaper planned to press charges. After a flight to Thailand in 1996, Björk was videotaped repeatedly slapping a female reporter. She later apologized for the attack, and the infamous clip is now posted on YouTube.
