This sort of thing happens to me all the time.
Woody Harrelson claims he mistook photographer for zombie
CNN) — Woody Harrelson defended his clash with a photographer at a New York airport Wednesday night as a case of mistaken identity — he says he mistook the cameraman for a zombie.
The TMZ photographer filed a complaint with police claiming the actor damaged his camera and pushed him in the face at La Guardia Airport, according to an airport spokesman.
Although I have to criticize the technique. Even if you’re wearing gloves: never, ever, ever push a zombie in the face. That’s just an invitation to having your hand gnawed, which will of course lead to infection, death, and reanimation as one of the walking dead. I know that people say that cutting off the extremity in time can prevent that, but that’s a million-to-one shot, and it’s such an avoidable mistake.
Clearly Mr. Harrelson needs to catch up on his technical reading.
