John Abraham denies slapping fan during ‘Force 2’ trailer launch

John Abraham has denied allegations in a report published in the Times of India claiming that the star slapped a fan on Thursday.

In what would be a far cry from the usual calm and composed person John is viewed in the public, the ��Dostana (2008) star reportedly lost his cool and got involved in a physical scuffle after unveiling the trailer for his new movie, ��Force 2�۪ (2016). He was with his co-stars Sonakshi Sinha and Tahir Raj Bhasin before being apparently mobbed when exiting the venue. One of the individuals then proceeded to grab John for a selfie and scratched his t-shirt, reports NDTV Movies.

The report further stated that John was visibly irritated with the fan, assaulted him and then proceeded to warn the bystanders and paparazzi of the consequences if news of the incident became public, before getting into the vehicle and leaving the scene.

However, in a statement issued today on behalf of the actor, his spokesperson said, “The episode has been blown out of proportion. John would never hurt a fan intentionally. The fan even met John at his residence to apologise to him for his irresponsible behaviour.”

��Force 2�۪ releases on 18th November.
