A photographer has told police he was punched in the face by Taylor Swift’s father on the Sydney waterfront on Tuesday, hours after the pop star’s Australian tour ended.

Ben McDonald said he provided officers with a statement alleging that Scott Swift assaulted him at Neutral Bay Wharf, where the father and daughter had just come ashore from a yacht.
