"&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"Another Alleged Beatdown\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/05/22/another-alleged-beatdown-1.jpg\" style=\"float: right; margin-left: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px;\" /&gt;Chris Brown&lt;/strong&gt; is being sued by a photographer who claims the singer was involved in a violent incident on a Los Angeles basketball court back in March. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the lawsuit, filed just moments ago in L.A. County Superior Court, the photog claims it all went down just weeks after the &lt;strong&gt;Rihanna&lt;/strong&gt; incident, when he shot a photo of Chris playing ball with his friends. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photog claims Chris' bodyguards yelled at him -- so he tried to leave the gym ... but an L.A. Fitness employee tried to block his escape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photog says he then fell down a stairwell, which allowed the bodyguards to catch up with him -- where they, \"picked him up by his shorts and physically assaulted him.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photog claims he was a paying member at the gym and had every right to be on the property. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the man is suing Chris and LA Fitness for&lt;strong&gt; assault and battery&lt;/strong&gt;, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and premises liability. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coincidentally, this is the same guy who attempted to sue Pierce Brosnan over a violent incident with the star in Malibu -- but that case was dismissed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UPDATE&lt;/strong&gt;: Chris Brown lawyer, Mark Geragos, released this statement: \"&lt;em&gt;The is a specious and frivolous lawsuit by one of the paparazzi seeking publicity and a payday. He's done this before and lost. We will vigorously defend against this&lt;/em&gt;.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
