A beach brawl broke out in Malibu over the weekend while paparazzi were taking pictures of Matthew McConaughey while he surfed with friends, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department confirmed.   

Freelance photographers were allegedly attacked by a group of local surfers  in Malibu's Paradise Cove around 2 p.m. on Saturday, the Associated Press reported.

One 29-year-old photojournalist told police the surfers approached him and other freelancers and demanded that they stop taking pictures at the location. When they did not comply, the surfers allegedly attacked the group in a bid to drive them out of the area, AP said.

In a statement to police, the photojournalist said he received injuries in the brawl. McConaughey himself was not involved in the attack, authorities said.
