A 71-year-old man has been accused of punching a photographer at Neutral Bay Wharf in Sydney in the early hours of Tuesday. The photographer, Ben McDonald, claims he was punched in the face by Scott Swift, the father of pop superstar Taylor Swift. McDonald said he was taking pictures of Taylor Swift and her entourage on a yacht in Sydney Harbour after the singer's final show in the city. He alleged that Swift's security tried to prevent him from taking photographs, and after the singer departed, Scott Swift confronted him and punched him in the face. McDonald reported the incident to the police, who are now investigating the alleged assault. Taylor Swift's representatives accused two individuals of aggressive behavior towards the singer's security at the time of the alleged assault. It has since emerged that McDonald was previously given a restraining order after a listening device was found at a property belonging to Nicole Kidman. Taylor Swift is currently on her Eras Tour and is heading to Singapore for the next leg of the tour. Scott Swift has left the country, but inquiries are ongoing. Fans of Taylor Swift have defended her father on social media, praising him for his generosity towards young fans at his daughter's concerts.
