The Sopranos star James Gandolfini has been caught on camera allegedly threatening a paparazzo.

The actor is said to have taken exception to a videographer taping him as he shopped with his son Michael in New York City on Halloween.

In footage posted on the Huffington Post website, Gandolfini can be seen lunging for the photographer, who tells the star to "Relax, man!"

The hard-man then pushes away the camera before shouting, "I'm gonna break your f**king face!"

As WENN went to press it was unknown if the snapper had filed charges against Gandolfini.
