WATCH: Harvey Weinstein attacked in diner
Hollywood heavyweight Harvey Weinstein has been attacked by a stranger while having dinner in a restaurant in Arizona.
An explosive video filmed overnight shows a male diner, identified only as Steve, walk up to the 65-year-old producer at Elements restaurant at the Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort in Scottsdale, saying, "You're such a piece of s--- for what you did to these women."
The man then strikes him twice in the face.
The assailant can be seen laughing as he hits Weinstein, who looks for his part dishevelled in a black beanie hat and a stained white polo shirt.
A spokesperson for Harvey Weinstein told The Arizona Republic in an email that the TMZ report of the incident was accurate but did not elaborate.
Weinstein has been undergoing treatment at the luxury resort/rehab in Arizona since October, with new pictures of him hiding out in the desert state emerging recently as he hid out whilst this year's female focused Golden Globes went ahead.
The movie producer has always denied the allegations against him, but with more than 50 women coming forward with stories of abuse, the police and FBI have been investigating.
Most recently, actress Salma Hayek accused the Miramax owner of being 'her monster', saying he coerced her into a sex scene with another woman during the filming of the movie Frida and once even threatened to kill her.
Other leading men in Hollywood have since been identified as alleged sexual predators and movements such as Time's Up have launched to help protect women from sexual harassment in the workplace.
