London, Aug 3 : A photographer has alleged that he had to be hospitalised after supermodel Naomi Campbell attacked him while she was holidaying with her billionaire boyfriend in Italy.

Paparazzo Gaetano Di Giovanni has claimed that he suffered a scratched eye and bruises after the catwalk queen hit him with her handbag as the photographers snapped her, reports the Daily Star.

Naomi, 38, had come to the volcanic island of Lipari, just off the coast of Sicily, with beau Mikhail Prokhorov for a vacation.

Naomi’s spokeswoman said the accusations were “completely untrue”. (ANI)
