(hollyscoop.com) - Former 007 Pierce Brosnan is currently being investigated by the L.A. County Sheriff's Department for allegedly battering a man in Malibu. The attack happened outside Casa Escobar Mall last Friday around 6:15 PM. Brosnan allegedly attacked a photog when he started complimenting him on his Bond roles. Brosnan allegedly told the pap, "Why don't you f**k off, mate," and then hit him in the ribs. The pap reacted by kicking Brosnan in the stomach. I'm sure the paps can be damn annoying at times but its not like the guy was insulting Brosnan.
