[Source: NME.com] Björk has allegedly attacked a newspaper photographer at New Zealand's Auckland International Airport.

According to reports in the Australia’s Daily Telegraph, Bjork tore New Zealand Herald photographer Glenn Jeffrey’s shirt in half after he photographed her arriving at the airport on Friday 11 January – she is in the country to perform at the forthcoming Big Day Out festival.

Jeffrey told the New Zealand Press Association: "I took a couple of pictures ... and as I turned and walked away she came up behind me, grabbed the back of my black skivvy and tore it."

This is the second time the singer has been involved in an altercation with a member of the media, the first being in 1996 after a long-haul flight to Thailand.
