NEW YORK, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- British rock star Chris Martin was caught on video confronting a paparazzo who approached him and his wife Gwyneth Paltrow as they left a New York hospital.

Paltrow was treated for an undisclosed illness earlier this week, prompting rumors that she is pregnant with her third child and experienced complications.

As the Oscar-winning actress and the Coldplay lead singer were leaving the hospital, a photographer said, "Congratulations, Chris," to which Martin replied by grabbing him by the collar, throwing him to the ground and saying: "Get the (expletive) out of here, man ... Have some respect," the New York Post reported Thursday.

Martin then snatched the photographer's camera and jumped in the backseat of the SUV where Paltrow sat waiting.

The Post said the person shooting the video can be heard shouting, "Hey Chris, thanks for the video," and telling Martin to give the photographer's camera back and the photographer pulled him back out of the car.
