Los Angeles police said on Thursday they were investigating claims that a movie cameraman who tabloids have linked to superstar Julia Roberts threw bricks at a paparazzi photographer.

A police spokesman said no one had been arrested or charged in the assault complaint filed by freelance photographer Francis Griffin after an alleged incident on Tuesday outside the home of Daniel Moder, 32, in the L.A. suburb of Woodland Hills.

Roberts, 33, Hollywood's highest-paid female movie star, has been the object of a tabloid feeding frenzy since the abrupt end in June of her four-year affair with actor Benjamin Bratt.

Griffin had been waiting across the street to get a photo of Moder and his family as he left home for the funeral of his mother. According to some tabloid reports, Roberts had also been expected to attend the funeral.

Griffin alleged that Moder threw two bricks over the fence of his home that hit and damaged the photographer's car, police said. Griffin himself was unharmed.
