Liev Schreiber has insisted he "never touched" a photographer he is accused of harassing.
The 'Spotlight' actor and his lawyer, Jonathan Ripps, lodged a motion to have second-degree harassment violation dismissed at Nyack Village Court and when he left the building he maintained his innocence over the incident, which allegedly took place in June.
He said: "I never touched him, I never touched his body with my body. I was p***ed, but that was it. I have nothing else to say."
But Martinelli, a photographer who has accused the actor of attacking him when he went to take a picture, damaging his camera, shouted "liar" as the 50-year-old star got into his car and drove away.
The photographer has slammed the motion to dismiss the lawsuit and admitted he was disappointed another hearing won't take place until 20 September as he is also looking for a protection order against the actor.
