EXCLUSIVE: BREAKING: Jessica Alba Witnesses Fight Between Paps & Gas Station Employees

EXCLUSIVE: BREAKING: Jessica Alba witnessed what sounds like a huge altercation between a group of paparazzi and a number of Union 76 gas station employees today in Beverly Hills.

We are still investigating the story, and have so far heard two different versions (of course) of what went down, but here's what we know: a fight broke out between paps and gas station attendants, apparently involving the use of a camera as a weapon on the side of the paps, and broomsticks (yes, brooms!) on the side of the gas station employees. Reportedly, the Union 76 workers felt the paps were just a bit too aggressive in getting their shots of Jessica Alba.

Indeed, in the video clip we obtained above, the voice of some saying "I'm going to f*ck your ugly ass up!" can be heard, right before the camera guy claims he was struck with a broken broom handle. Another photographer we interviewed displayed a freshly swollen, black eye.

We spoke with Gabriel, the manager onsite at the station, and he claims that one of his guys is in the hospital with broken fingers. When we spoke with a couple of the photographers, we were told one of their associates -- a paparazzo -- got a bloody, broken nose. Police arrived and conducted their usual operations, so we're sure to get more info on this as it unfolds.

And get this -- we were told exclusively by the gas station's manager that Jessica Alba saw everything.
