DiCaprio's Bodyguards: 1 vs. Razzi: 0

Reports out of Israel publicized two members of Leonardo DeCaprio's security team being arrested in Jerusalem on Monday after they threw down with photographers.

DeCaprio is dating 21-yr-old model Bar Refaeli and they were visiting her family outside of Tel Aviv when the incident took place.

Israel Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said DiCaprio and supermodel Refaeli were taking a private tour of the Western Wall tunnels, next to the Western Wall which is Judaism's holiest site, in the Old City of Jerusalem.

Rosenfeld said the photographers were camped outside the tunnels waiting for the couple to emerge.

"Two of his [DiCaprio's] security guards were arrested by police after being involved in a fight that broke out," Rosenfeld told Haaretz. "They are being questioned."

After the scuffle, the couple of almost a year escaped in a waiting white van.


UPDATE: The two security guards protecting Leo and Bar were released, with all charges dropped. The Israeli police have now issued a restraining order against the photographers for being aggressive.
