Bill Murray Seen in Viral Video Threatening Fan After He Allegedly Stepped on His Foot: 'That is Physical Assault'
The fan tripped him in a New York City movie theater.

Bill Murray was caught in a viral video lashing out at a fan for allegedly stepping on his foot.
Murray was in New York City as part of a Q&A segment for his movie 'The Friend,' when a fan came up to him in the lobby of the theatre. In the clip, the unidentified man approached Murray before seemingly stepping on his heel. This, in turn, caused the actor to nearly fall to the ground.
Murray was visibly and audibly angry at this interaction and lashed out at the fan.
"Stop it! Stop it!" Murray said before heading toward the unidentified man.
"You attack me like that again, I'll step on your foot," Murray says while pointing his finger in the man's face.
"Don't do it again. That is physical assault what you just did," Murray yells at the fan.
