Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber leaving a Malibu restaurant with their newborn baby, Alexander. Los Angeles, California - 19.08.07

A limping Schreiber was carrying the couple's three-week-old son into Greek restaurant Taverna Tony's when he placed the baby carrier down when one snapper got too close.

Turning round to confront the photographer, Schreiber shouted, "You f**king disgust me. It's a f**king child and I have one f**king foot."

The Manchurian Candidate actor then chased away several other photographers before entering the restaurant for lunch.

But when the couple emerged after their meal, they were again surrounded by paparazzi, forcing Watts to protest "Are you out of your mind?" as she tried to make way for Schreiber to place their baby in a waiting car.

One photographer then taunts Schreiber saying, "You better sit down before I knock your a** out."

The incident, video footage of which is posted on website TMZ.com, is the second time in recent weeks Watts has had a problem with over-zealous paparazzi. Last week (ends17Aug07), she received police protection when pursuing photographers caused a safety scare at a Los Angeles supermarket.
