For the second time in two years, Brad Garrett has gotten heat for taking a swat at the paparazzi. This time it may land him in legal hot water.

TMZ reports that the 6' 8" 'Til Death actor lashed out at a pack of photographers—and one in particular—as he left West Hollywood restaurant Dan Tana's on Tuesday night. Obviously annoyed when the paps continued to snap his pic after a few minutes, Garrett, 48, swung at one of the photographers, breaking his camera and causing a lump on the photog's noggin.

After the incident, tempers flared further. One photographer called him a "tall f*ggot." (What's up with that lately, anyway?). Garrett challenged the man to put down the camera and duke it out, an offer that the pap understandably declined. Check out video of the brawl below:

TMZ now says that an unnamed party filed a police report naming Garrett as the suspect, and cops are looking into a possible criminal battery charge.

Garrett made news in August 2007, when he struck a TMZ photographer's camera in Malibu, after the photographer accused him of being racist due to a comment he had made about African-Americans. 

The photographer in this latest altercation claims that the attack "was totally unprovoked." Check out his response in the video below:

“‘Til Death star Brad Garrett got fed up with paparazzi, pushing a photographer and smacking his camera outside of Dan Tana’s restaurant in West Hollywood on Tuesday.”
Just Jared
“Former Everybody Loves Raymond star Brad Garrett went berserk last night on a paparazzo outside Dan Tana’s restaurant in Hollywood. Garrett really didn’t want his picture taken so he did what any sane, rational celebrity would do — he attacked the paparazzo and broke his camera. One of the paparazzo’s friends did his best to diffuse the situation by calling Garrett a “tall faggot,” which I think we can all agree is way better than being called a “short faggot.””
