Gandolfini Pops a Pap on Halloween

It was a rough Halloween for one photographer who tried filming actor James Gandolfini and his son, as the burly 'Sopranos' star lashed out and was caught on video lunging at the paparazzo and possibly punching him. In the video posted on The Huffington Post, Gandolfini is seen standing outside of a New York City store waiting for his son. Apparently unhappy with the fact that he was being followed and filmed by the paparazzo, Gandolfini quickly makes his way towards the photographer. "Relax, man," the photog pleads ... but that didn't happen.

Gandolfini is then heard telling the man "Get the f--- away from me, you understand me?" The photographer replies "Yeah, just relax." Gandolfini, not happy with the response, punches either the camera or photographer -- as it's hard to tell because the video is out of frame.

He then tells the photographer "I'm gonna break your f----ng face."

In the background, a woman -- apparently Gandolfini's wife -- is heard yelling "Get away from my son!"

No charges have been filed by the photographer as of this moment.

This wouldn't be the first time the Emmy-winning actor has found himself in a paparazzi scuffle. Back in April, he was caught on tape twice shoving a photographer outside of a posh New York City restaurant.
