Roman Polanski's actress wife has allegedly been caught on camera attacking a paparazzo.

Reports claim Emmanuelle Seigner lashed out at a female videographer after arriving at her Paris apartment on her motorcycle on Thursday.

In footage obtained by RadarOnline.com, a woman purported to be Seigner can be seen lunging for the woman, who pleads with her for an interview as other snappers took shots of the tussle.

Seigner rushes to hide in the lobby of her apartment building, and peeks her head out as the paparazzo continues to call out for an interview.

As WENN went to press it was unknown if the snapper has filed charges against Seigner, who has refused to comment on Polanski's recent legal battle.

The moviemaker pleaded guilty to a charge of having unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor in 1978, but fled to France before he could be sentenced.

He was finally captured by authorities in Europe last month and is behind bars in Switzerland while officials decide whether to extradite him back to the U.S.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly actress, who married Polanski in 1989, is said to have pulled their children, aged nine and 16, out of school following the controversy.
