Clooney taped confronting photographers

A videotape of George Clooney angrily confronting two photographers for driving dangerously has surfaced online.

The actor was riding his motorcycle, with girlfriend Sarah Larson riding pillion, along Los Angeles' Mulholland Drive when he pulled over to tell off the overly-aggressive paparazzi.

Clooney and Larson were injured when they were knocked off a Harley Davison motorcycle the actor had rented during a September trip to New Jersey, and the actor was worried another accident would occur if he didn't object to the photographers' irresponsible driving.

In a video of the incident, obtained by website TMZ.com, an angry Clooney says: "You broke some laws, I want to find out what your licence plate number is.

"How many laws did you break, pal?... You cut me up… How many people did you put in danger? You drove like a maniac down here. At least understand that you're putting people in danger…

"I've been down on a motorcycle and the last thing I want to do is get thumped."

The two photographers involved then apologised to Clooney, before the actor drove off.

Clooney and Larson received hospital treatment after their September crash - he was treated for a rib fracture and grazes, while Larson saw doctors for two broken toes.
