Another day, another story about Chris Brown getting into trouble.

As TMZ reports, Breezy was playing a show in Tampa early this morning.  When he and his team arrived, the club's photographer began to take pictures.  Chris and his entourage told the guy that photos weren't allowed, so he stopped shooting.

Later in the night, the photographer began to take pictures of the crowd.  Brown thought he was being photographed. So he allegedly punched the lensman in the face. Jump to the 20 second mark to see Brown swing.

The alleged victim was hospitalized after the incident. He says he suffered a split lip and hurt jaw, and he plans to press charges against the R&B star.

Chris left before police arrived, so he wasn't arrested. But he might be throwing the photographer some major cash soon.

Depending on how you look at it, being punched by Brown could be the best business move that guy has ever made.
